kri-ˈsan(t)-thə-məm - unlikely food source

Following a week of wet, cold and windy weather confining the bees, two sunny days, the bees are active starting at 48 °F.   Where are the bees going?  It's almost too late for golden rod.   Today at noon, walking past a south facing garden with a large patch of flowers, I discovered honey bees and native pollinators visiting chrysanthemum flowers.   I can barely pronounce kri-ˈsan(t)-thə-məm, let alone spell this successfully.

An unlikely food source, Xerces Society resources don't include chrysanthemum in their list of pollinator friendly plants!
