Title: Bee balm
Post by: Cindi on December 03, 2006, 10:58:01 PM
I found a cool site for Lemon Balm on the net, I have not seen lemongrass around my area growing, but I do grow lots of lemon balm and I am going to investigate further and see if I can create an essential oil of lemon balm to use with my bees when I am going to bait some hives for swarm luring.  It does appear that lemon balm is very attractive to the species, as well as the lemon grass.   when I figure out how to post a link to a internet site, I will add it to a post, but inthe meantime I am going to do some investigation on how to perform this.  Great day, Cindi

Get some lemon grass from an asian grocer if you can. Here you can find it with the roots still attached. Its as tough as nails and resprouts if you stick it in a pot. It grows like a weed, its pretty easy. I reckon you could grow in in summer no worries.

Cindi:

To post a link is surely the simplest of all features -

1) at the top of your browswer where the web address is, left click to highlight the full link blue, ctrl+c it then just ctrl+v it on to a blank line (if it is a long link) or on any line if it is short.  (P.S. I still like right mousing and choosing copy or paste - old habits)

2) Just make sure the pasted text doesn't touch surrounding text, it messes up the link posting

See, easy - promise.

OH... How you adjusting to the Classic Brown theme and I'm not sure from the post about the PIE, did your daughter have it for you?? Let me know :) Great Day! John  :-D
