Yes, Dan, there is/may be an issue with bees with all this poison. This is my first year to use any of these chemicals (other than Roundup), but the bees have been long gone. :-( Not just honeybees, but all pollinators are a lot scarcer here than years ago. Lots of diversity in what's left - all sizes and shapes, mostly various bumble beeish looking things, but also various wasps and little bitty unidentifiables.
Shaub, have you tried black plastic to kill mugwort or Rumex? If I abandon this section of row, I think I'll try it rather than repeated spraying.
Lambsquarters is a totally different story. I wouldn't want to get rid of it entirely - too good to eat! Tho a bit of a nuisance to strip off the leaves. 

Sheep sorrel is tasty too, but a tiny bit of it goes a long way!
