BEE BALM BEE - Bee Balm, Monarda, is beloved for its ability to beckon bees, butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden. Bee Balm also earns rave reviews for its mosquito repelling qualities. For many insect-deterring plants to work, you have to crush the leaves or blooms to release the plant's volatile oils.Bee Balm is the exception to that rule.

One of my favorites, Also known as Oswego Tea, I believe native american made a tea out of it. Apparently when the Tea Boycott was in place it was used by the colonialists as a tea substitute, Hummingbirds love it too,
