Bee balm and bergamot refer to plants in the mint family, specifically Monarda species. Monarda fistulosa, commonly known as wild bergamot or bee balm, is a native wildflower in North America, known for its pink to lavender flowers and use as a honey plant and ornamental garden plant. Monarda didyma, also referred to as bee balm, has a more minty scent, while wild bergamot has a citrusy aroma. Both plants attract bees and are used in aromatherapy, but they have distinct characteristics and uses. While the terms are often used interchangeably, they refer to different species within the same genus, each with unique properties and applications.
