Just to correct some very common misinformation (with citations).

All scientific evidence points to no toxicity of GM crops to bees.

Organic honey has no official definition in the USA except for how the bees are cared for (under USDA organic livestock regulations). If your land is certified organic and you do not treat the bees with prohibited chemicals, then you can label organic.

There are guidelines, but even these allow for foraging on non-organic crops.

P.S. Of course some of the domestic honey bees get to our vegetable field, but they are the one's that do not like the millions of closer flowers in the native habitat that is in between:)
