There could be other things at play though than pollinating or not. I know the coating was presented as better than just spraying around etc, and is is, but it's not like it ends there. Neonicotinoids are water soluble so some of it will end up in the soil and from theere might leak to surface water. Effects of that are all known yet, but it's not all looking good. Not saying there are problems for bees, just that seed coating could well be more than 'not much of an issue'.
