Roundup populates the gut of humans and will crowd out beneficial flora. I suspect this happens to bees as well. GMO corn gets sprayed between 4 and 7 times with herbicides and pesticides and you may not know if there are additional pesticides being used. Before the seeds planted the grounds sprayed/impregnated with pesticide's, effectively killing beneficial micro organisms and probably worms. They may be using neo nics, and you wouldn't know it, as it affects the bees sub-lethally so the companies that make it can say it's not a cause of bee death. http://www.dadant.com/news/insecticide-causes-changes-in-honeybee-genes-research-finds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY7iATJVCso http://www.globalresearch.ca/monsanto-roundup-the-impacts-of-glyphosate-herbicide-on-human-health-pathways-to-modern-diseases/5342520 http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/05/14/glyphosate.aspx The copy of the most recent research that reported the above is no longer on the web - tried finding the page from my bookmarks, a common practice for keeping the citizenry ignorant. Went to a different source and found it on the global research and Mercola websites. I would not want to eat honey or pollen that was exposed to glyphosate or neo nics.

Roundup is a herbicide, not an insecticide. The product label (the legal requirement for application) for Roundup Pro does not include any known risks for pollinators, nor is it harmful for humans. Test results on honey bees, detailed in the MSDS, were: Honey
bee (Apis mellifera):
Oral/contact,48
hours, LD50:> 100μg/bee
Practically non-toxic. There has never been any evidence that GMO crops harm bees, nor is there any logical reason that they would do so. So I wouldn't (and don't) worry. Use of Roundup is incredibly widespread in the USA and if it were actually causing genuine problems for honey bees, that would be obvious.
