I enjoy your videos. I lose track of all the ones I follow but am gonna make an effort to view y’all’s. I enjoy the material and appreciate learning from it but most of all I am so grateful for your prayers. It is all the reason for me to tune in. I find it very difficult to keep the Lord first with all of the distractions in the world. Like minded folks that stay true are a big help. So thank you and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much @PinnacleMartialArtsAcademy for those extremely kind words. We absolutely pray. We believe deeply in prayer and know it works. We are so appreciative for you. God bless.
My daughters had bought me a deer resistant mix of flowers a couple of years ago and I planted more this year and got the bee balm to grow this year. I love it as well as the bees and hummingbirds. Thank you for the planting tips. I will try to follow a lot of them. Take care.
wow! I just ran across your channel a few minutes ago and I’m just gonna say it was a godsend. The species of Beebalm grows wild in my area all over the place. Unfortunately, every year when I try to harvest some it is already covered with the powdery mildew. needless to say, I have been so frustrated. yesterday, I finally found a small patch that did not have the mildew or wasn’t ate up with some kind of nasty bug. I did clip some and I’m hanging to dry. I was curious about how to propagate, but you answered that question for me in this video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, as I will definitely be supporting your channel and I’m looking forward to checking out other videos you have posted. May God bless you and your Homestead . Will definitely keep your family in my prayers.
Hi Karrie, thanks so much for those kind words. I am so glad you found some without powdery mildew. 😊 We had some on our bee balm this year but once it dried up it recovered well, thankfully. We deeply appreciate the prayers. God’s blessings to you and your family.
Hi! Welcome. We are so glad you are here. The more I learn of nature the more in awe I am. There is food and medicine all around us. It is truly remarkable. Good luck on growing the bee balm. The pollinators go nuts for it. God bless!
Hi Julia! It all depends on the species. The fistulosa can obviously grow tall. 🙂I will probably plant some of the red variety as well. The horse mint cultivar grows shorter.
thank you! I didn't know bee balm has thymol in it. I love thymol. I first learned about thymol mouth wash by using edgar cayce heritage products years ago when I attended the A.R.E. clinic in Phoenix. I am building my medicinal garden. I will definitely add it to my garden. keep the herbal info coming! God bless you both!
Thank you S G! I didn’t know until I started researching it as well. It is a great little plant! Good luck with the medicinal garden. I am working on developing one myself.
Ben, can you ask your great great great grandfather a question, since he was there and would know firsthand? I read that the tea party was not about "taxation without representation," which is the common historical story. Instead, it was because England had just removed 2 of the 3 taxes on the tea, and also removed the requirement that tea had to be sold by the East India Tea Company to a third party for transport and sale from England to the Colonies. This lowered English tea prices to be on par with smuggled Dutch tea. The tea party was organized by smugglers upset that these changes would cut into their business. So they really had two disguises, first as colonists opposed to British taxation, and then as Native Americans opposed to European settlers in general. Have you heard about this? What does yor g-g-g-grandfather say?
Hi Randy, not sure he can ask his great, great, great grandfather. 😂 I asked him and he said nope. 😂 You are correct that the Revolution was about more than just taxation without representation. That was just one of many issues. I have read a lot of Revolutionary history and have never heard that before. Do you remember where you saw that?
I choose Star Wars! Ben you made me laugh with your joke on the two guys which I will not say their names😂 Thanks so much in the information on Bees Balm. I have grown it for years. Mine is red give to me from a friend. But, I'm going to order the lavender. Have a Blessed Day!
Hi Barbara, I see how it is, side with Ben. 😂 😂 The lavender one is amazing as well. It definitely grows taller in most cases. That is awesome your friend gave you some. I am going to plant some of the red this spring. God bless! 🙏
Hi Linda, it should be just fine in zone 9. It is drier in San Diego than here in Western North Carolina. We sometimes have powdery mildew issues due to the humidity, so it should do really well there. We have never had rabbits eat it, but we have barn cats that keep the little critters away. Good luck!
@@RenewedHomestead yeah 😁 love them both having grown up with them both great in their own right, though some of the offshoots haven't appealed to me much but always been a fan of sci-fi and fantasy, a reality not getting much better! Both of you help keep some sanity in the world! Big thanks for that!
Thanks John! The new stuff is not very good. It is unfortunate. Ben and I love sci-fi and fantasy as well. Hope we get some better movies and series soon. God bless friend. 🙏

Praying for you both daily. Thank you!!

We planted about 5-6 Bee Balm in our pollenator garden. They smell AMAZING!!! The bees, butterflies and wasps are everywhere lol
Hi StubbsMillingCo! Wonderful! We definitely want to spread it around, it is such a great plant. The pollinators love it!
New sub here. I'm an herbalist from WV. I recently foraged some Monarda in the wild and hope to grow some on our property. God bless!

Love all the knowledge shared in this video! Please keep sharing and caring 😉
I'm a Star Trek gal! Better than Star Wars
Hi ZodiacTiller! Thank you so much. We deeply appreciate that.
Woot! Us girls need to stick together! 🙂
Yes bee balm is wonderful, I have several in my small garden
Hi Helene! Wonderful! It is such an amazing plant.
Good info, ooo red too.
First time seeing you..your hoots!
Thank you Monica!
😂 thank you! Welcome!
I had thought that Monarda was a smaller plant - like 12-15, maybe 18 inches! But those are at least five feet tall! I wasn't expecting that!
Hi Julia! It all depends on the species. The fistulosa can obviously grow tall. 🙂I will probably plant some of the red variety as well. The horse mint cultivar grows shorter.
Great info. We don’t really watch either one, but my son Corey is TOTALLY Star Wars 😊
Thank you love! Ben and Corey agree. I like it but am definitely a bigger fan of Star Trek. I am such a sci-fi nerd. 😂
Great informative & entertaining video guys. Thanks for sharing! I don’t watch either one those. Lol 😂
Thanks Pastor Lon! Ben and I are huge sci-fi fans. Trust me, Star Trek is better. 😂

“I had a biden moment” lmao now I’m subscribed
😂 thank you!!!!!
I heard Mitch Mc Connell.

Years ago. I'll look around.
Thanks Randy. I would be interested to look at that. 🙂
Oo? How do you use it? Make creams?tinctures? Steep boil?
Hi lady Ryan! Yep, you can do all three. For the tea you would steep the leaves and the flowers and leaves make a great tincture.
I choose Star Wars! Ben you made me laugh with your joke on the two guys which I will not say their names😂 Thanks so much in the information on Bees Balm. I have grown it for years. Mine is red give to me from a friend. But, I'm going to order the lavender. Have a Blessed Day!

Instead of an epipen, just keep some liquid Benadryl on hand and take an extra dose if needed.
Thanks richardnfudge. That is a great idea.
I put this in honey with some other herbs for a nice treatment for a sore throat.
Hi katrussell! Adding the honey is a great idea. Thanks for the tip. We will have to do that. 😊
I definitely choose Star Wars as my favorite.
Hi Dwight! You and Ben are on the same page. I see how it is. 😂 God bless friend. 🙏
@@RenewedHomestead Well, of course we are on the same page. It is a sign of high intelligence.
@@RenewedHomestead I am terrible, aren't I?
Liking Star Trek more would be a greater sign of intelligence. 😝 😂 😂
Can I grow this in Zone 9 where we are dry and hot? Do rabbits go for them also. I am in San Diego
Hi Linda, it should be just fine in zone 9. It is drier in San Diego than here in Western North Carolina. We sometimes have powdery mildew issues due to the humidity, so it should do really well there. We have never had rabbits eat it, but we have barn cats that keep the little critters away. Good luck!
hmmm, not sure, possibly 2 unless you count the new ones, in which case, 1!!
Hi Sare! I am always a Star Trek fan but both of us are with you on the new ones. No thank you! Lol
Star Trek is better because it shows an attempt at utopia. Bee balm is nice too
Hi Stephen! Amen! Very well said. 🙂
Star Trek, sorry Ben
Hi Dale! Woot! We are complete agreement. 🙂
1 & 2 :))
Hi John, I see you are playing it safe. 😂
@@RenewedHomestead yeah 😁 love them both having grown up with them both great in their own right, though some of the offshoots haven't appealed to me much but always been a fan of sci-fi and fantasy, a reality not getting much better! Both of you help keep some sanity in the world!

Thanks John! The new stuff is not very good. It is unfortunate. Ben and I love sci-fi and fantasy as well. Hope we get some better movies and series soon. God bless friend. 🙏
