> But back to Artemisia, its appearance in nectar or honey may indicate bees foraging on Artemisia of course, but more likely it just blows everywhere and ends up there. 

This is a mistake on my part. I was thinking of Ambrosia. Bill jogged my memory when he referred to mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) whereas I was thinking of ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia). Artemisia, of course, includes many species including wormwood.  All of these plants belong to the Asteraceae family.
