About a tablespoon per gallon is what I use for my meads. It seems to work well, but I've never used it to start a stuck batch before. I like the idea of using something from the beehive to feed a mead.
But be aware that depending on the floral source, one sample of it can be very different from another in terms of flavour and nutrients, and adding too much might give an off flavour. The pollen I get is pretty mild tasting as it is, so I'm not too worried about it happening to me.
But wild yeasts aren't as hardy as many wine yeasts, generally speaking, so it might have pooped out for good. If you can't get it to start back up, you might have to add a wine yeast to have it finish.
