Peter gave the butterfly link.

Here is the study that caused the concern;

Note that it follows the butterfly study since it is a lab study using 
leaves, not pollen, and they do not find the same results in the field. 
Also, those involved in the study seem to have an agenda, but what is 
new there.

One would think that BT sprayed corn (approved for organic growers) 
would have a greater run-off problem than the small amounts in pollen. 
Would be nice to see a study on that.
