Monarda fistulosa, also known as bee balm, aka wild bergamot, is a weed to some farmers and ranchers but a treasured garden flower to many and historically considered a healing herb by others. Bergamot is the host plant for the caterpillars of the Hermit sphinx moth and Gray marvel moth and important nectar and pollen source for various bees and butterflies.
