>>>   What I'm trying to guesstimate is how much risk is there that planting the cover crop into imid containing soil/residue will result in crimson clover that secretes imid in pollen and nectar that is typically attractive to bees.

I think part of the answer depends upon the method of application of the pesticide.  If it's applied just as a seed coating prior to planting, the pesticide residue is going to be considerably less than if it is spray applied to the soil either before or after planting.
