About 25 years ago I found wild monarda up in the Sheandoah mountains while visiting vineyards. It was rampant under trees and along the roadside at elevations above 6,000 feet. We dug up a teaspoon's worth while examining its squared stem, and discovered it was fragrant from end to end, including even that bit of root! I have adored this wild native ever since.

Far from perfect but I love your videos. I love when people make mistakes. It make you human. At your age you are so informant and I really love how you are so knowledgeable on so many plants. It is quite evident you do your research and explain so much that other people leave out. I truly think you would make a great horticulturist if you got a degree. Thank you very much. Stay Safe

Perhaps you are thinking of bergamot Orange, which produces a similar tasting leaf. However Monarda species are the original ‘bergamot’

Suggesting a correction in your language used. Bee balm already existed and was used extensively by the indigenous peoples. As such, it wasn’t “discovered” by N. Monardes. He merely introduced it to the European people.

Do you know if I could divide my Bee Balms if they have flowers/buds already? I just planted one from the store the other day, but now I'm reading that they should be less clumped together and I'm so worried that they'll die on me 😭

Keep them well hydrated, they won’t die! They can definitely be divided - after they’ve flowered, cut them back to 2” and simply cut them in half with your shovel, dig and replant. Very easy

I don’t like your language or use of the word discovered! I don’t even like that you are calling monarda for that matter. This was an existing plant in North America. The US school system failed you here.
