I don't think so, for the reasons I have already posted. GM organisms have to be tested. You can't test GM bees in a lab, they would have to be tested in the real world. And you can have GM bees in the real world unless they are tested. 

See how long it took to bring GM salmon to market. The company applied for FDA approval in 1995. They are raised in ponds. AquAdvantage built a 100-ton/year aquaculture facility in landlocked highlands in Panama, a fraction of the 230,000-ton global output of farmed Atlantic salmon.

Still, some people are in a panic that they will escape at breed with wild populations. Not unless they modify them to have wings!
