"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.

persistent is probably a matter of personal opinion. In
most soils glyphosate has a half life of about one month.
In some soils it is less than this and in others it is
greater than this.
