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

Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, is a well known poison.  In smaller doses it causes blindness while in larger doses it causes death.  I suppose we should outlaw grapefruit juice, like I had for breakfast this morning, as our own body makes methanol in the course of metabolizing grapefruit juice.

 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.

 In some soils it is less than this and in others it is
 greater than this.
