I recall that, at a talk at the Dublin Apimondia in 2005 we were told of some GMO plants (I forget which species) which had anti-biotic resistant 'marker genes' added to make it easy for the plants to be identified if scrumped.  Of course the genes got in the pollen which was collected by the local bees in Italy and as a result an anti-biotic treatment for (I presume) foulbrood no longer worked.
