no. neonicotinoids, which are implicated in bee declines, are insecticides. there use on crops has nothing to do with whether the crops are GMO or not.

Yes, they are used on either but sold by Monsanto. That is on topic.

Yeah, and they said the same thing about their laboratory-produced trans fats and margarine "yes, they're safe - go ahead and eat, eat, eat!" ...until a few decades later they said OOPS, NEVER MIND - they are toxic and cause heart disease!
It's naive to think the "case is closed." Just wait another ten years or so until we have a whole generation of people who have been nourishing themselves on this.
"According to the article published December 5, 2013 in the Ecologist,
This arbitrary, groundless retraction of a published, thoroughly peer-reviewed paper is without precedent in the history of scientific publishing, and raises grave concerns over the integrity and impartiality of science. These concerns are heightened by a sequence of events surrounding the retraction:
* the appointment of ex-Monsanto employee Richard Goodman to the newly created post of associate editor for biotechnology at FCT
* the retraction of another study finding potentially harmful effects from GMOs (which almost immediately appeared in another journal)
* the failure to retract a paper published by Monsanto scientists in the same journal in 2004, for which a gross error has been identified.
The first bulleted item apparently speaks volumes as to Monsanto’s tactics in gaining corporate-style control over many segments of society, commerce, and government. Shouldn’t someone question the revolving door policy Monsanto’s former chief lobbyist Michael Taylor has enjoyed at federal agencies, and now as FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods? Can that be why we have FDA-mandated “No GMO Labeling of Foods”?
Then there’s Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a former Monsanto employee – he was a company lawyer. Does a corporate lawyer position warrant enough experience to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court?"
What about the millions how now eat better because of the efforts of scientists working for a lot of different seed companies?
What conspiracy? Someone not caring for a company and their practices is now a conspiracy? LOL.
This is just the tip of the iceberg with Monsanto. It doesn't reflect the govt share ownership through their investment funds. This is part of the reason people have issues with Monsanto. Major conflict of interest. http://occupy-monsanto.com/tag/revolving-door/
