We here in North central Missouri have had an unusually bad infestation of weevils this year as well. We had a late hatch as well, so spraying was delayed. When I did have to spray, I really knocked down a lot of growth. There seemed to be "two" hatches this year. The insecticide treatment didn't work nearly as good this year as in previous years. I even wondered if the chemical worked. With your decision to go in and cut "what's left"....I'd sure monitor the field to see if you are getting any regrowth. A really good practice is to spray the field 10 days after you cut it. This will kill the adults that are left. I"ve seen alfalfa fields that "just didn't come back" after the first cutting and this was the problem. I can't address the "bee" situation in your area. It may be a localized thing. The label should state what restrictions are applicable to your area.
