>Are the chemicals applied to these vastly different seeds identical in
strength, so less chemical applied would mean less chemical moving into the
plant? Who has looked? Who has data?

The chemicals are applied at a rate determined by field studies to result
in residues in the ballpark of about 2 ppb in the nectar and pollen.  These
rates are determined individually for each crop.

There is abundant data from both testing by the registrant, and then
independent data from all over the world to confirm.  Much of that data is
easily accessible.
