Bee Balm (Monarda ) is annual or perennial plant native to North America. Common names include Bee balm, Horsemint, Bergamot and Oswego tea. Today the plant gives the taste to Earle Grey Tea, but long since was used by Native Americans as medical plant for it antiseptic, carminative and general stimulation actions. Also, the Bee Balm flower is favorite with hummingbirds.( Source – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarda )
