So you are asserting that the bees would have a very short time to gather Glyphosate containing nectar after each application. The plants that take up this concentration would presumably live for this time (thus be resistant). 

Another explanation is that the plants are not resistant but the concentration is low enough that it doesn't kill the plant but lets it express enough Glyphosate to be measurable still in the resultant honey (implies migration to non-target weeds). Anyone know the half life of this in honey?

Either way, Glyphosate is getting into our food sources at levels that are affecting human (and likely bee) health.
