The MongoDB driver is converting your DateTime to UTC.

If you don't want to bother with time zones, you could change the kind to UTC:

time = DateTime.SpecifyKind(time, DateTimeKind.Utc);

I would not recommed this because the database will store a "wrong" Date, but it will show you ISODate("2014-05-03T18:30:30.170Z").
