Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew if Dahlias were good for Honey Bees?

I sowed “200+ Dahlia Single Dwarf Mix - Dahlia variabilis” ($4 from amazon) in small pots indoors in late winter, moved them to my unheated greenhouse in early spring, then planted out in May. They began flowering in July. For a while, they only attracted bumbles but honey bees began to visit them since late August. My double-flowered dahlias never attracted bees.
