Here in the Virginia mountains (southwest part of the state), the U.S.
Forest Service and some university researchers have been treating Hemlock
Woolly Adelgid infestations with imidacloprid (by injection and soil
treatment).

I wonder if any researcher has looked at pollinator affects from this
non-agricultural, but potentially large scale treatment of forest trees.
Tulip popular, maple and black locust are big contributors to our nectar
flow here. I haven't read that anyone is looking at expression of the
neonics in tree nectar and pollen and any affects on pollinators (including
but limited to honey bees).
