Indeed. And yet these barely detectable amounts are causing all these problems?

Must be resistant target flowering "weeds" providing the nectar for the contaminated honey, my guess. If not resistant, they don't live long enough to give much nectar. Non-Target crops like corn aren't providing any nectar, although they may provide resistant DNA.
