Wild bergamot is one of several plants also known by the common name of bee balm. Wild bergamot attracts a number of specialist bees, bumble bees, predatory wasps, hummingbirds, and hawk moths. A small black sweat bee, Dufourea monardae, is a specialist of bee balm in the Midwest and Northeast.
As a member of the mint family it is very aromatic and the leaves smell of oregano. Native Americans inhaled the steam of the upper parts of Monarda to treat coughs, fevers and lung congestion. Monarda is specific for fever, lung congestion and cool, clammy skin. The leaves are used to make a refreshing tea.
The leaves have a spicy flavor similar to oregano and can be used in teas, salads, and other dishes.
