" Were a
 grower to apply foliar thiamethoxam on alfalfa a week before
 intended
 cutting, and then had the cutting delayed for some reason,
 thus allowing
 the alfalfa to come into bloom, would pollinators suffer?"

Here's a question for you alfalfa farmers: Why spray a crop right before cutting? Isn't the battle over at that point? Or is this to keep insects out of the hay bales?
