Bee bread is pollen mixed with honey and cured. Pollen patty is made with syrup and protein subs to mimic bee bread. so, yes, there will be syrup in it.
But if your bees are ignoring the pollen patty you're putting out for them, they are most likely getting real pollen from flowers, and that is a good thing.
In your shoes, I would stop wasting my money and let them feed themselves.
