Bee Balm, which is also known as Wild Bergamot, or Monarda. These lovely flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The flowers have a citrus like aroma and flavor that is used in Earl Grey Tea, and its leaves when chewed taste like a blend of spearmint and peppermint. It is a relative to the mint plant, so it can be used as a mint substitute.
Bee Balm is bound to Air, and Mercury, and due to the influence of both of these; Air for intellect, and Mercury for success, it is believed to be a wonderful herb for money and success in business spells. Carry a few leaves in your wallet to attract money, and rub some leaves or its oil on your skin before a business meeting or job interview for success.
It is also a great herb by itself or combined with other herbs for any spells or rituals that call for a tea or infusion, as it really tastes great too!
I'll have to plant these cute plants for not only myself but the bees which I love. Thanks for the info : )
