Soybean and Cotton for Honey

Anyone here place hives on either?
2 Chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

My buddy does.  Hives are strategically placed as the crops are crop dusted.  My buddy creates a lot a honey out of cotton fields as far as the eye can see.  A good quality, light honey but the pesticides are a concern to me.  I do not know why this particular cotton is not GMO, genetically modified organism.  Maybe it is but why spray if it?s GMO???

I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

I?ve wondered about beans. I got a place that would be next to hundreds of acres of beans.
