Bee Balm / Wild Bergamot

Bee Balm (Monarda fistulosa)

Bee Balm is a vibrant and aromatic meadow herb, known for its soft purple flowers and unmistakable, spicy scent. Harvested at peak vitality, the aerial parts are gathered when the plant is fully expressive, preserving both its aroma and lively character.

Our Bee Balm is grown regeneratively, following organic standards, at Power Farm Herbals in Falmouth, Maine. Plants are dried immediately after harvest in an on farm drying facility to maximize potency, preserve quality, and maintain the character of the fresh plant.

From Our Experience
Bee Balm brings brightness and movement to the apothecary. Its aroma alone feels enlivening, and in blends it tends to lift and open the overall profile. We often think of it as a plant that adds clarity and presence without overwhelming other herbs.
