Can you spot the continuity error? :)

The audio isn't too great in some spots. I had to filter out crickets and traffic noise so you could hear me!

I love bergomot! Excellent footage. You must be very proud of what you have done. Gorgeous. The Bees must love you! This reminded me of a national geographic film. Well done = )

Me and the bees are buds--they almost never sting me!

A nice thing about filming among the bergamot is that it has a nice subtle aroma that rubs off on your clothes. Too bad YouTube doesn't have smell-o-vision!

Thanks! :)

GH Cone! One of my favs! This is not "Bee Balm" Monarda didyma, but Wild Bergamot--Monarda fistulosa Bee balm is scarlet red, tho'...not this

What a beautiful place!

Where is this located? I'd love to go there sometime! :)

Nice job on the video, this was fun to watch! Where is your prairie?

I planted Liatris this year. Thanks. I will let you know :0)

[BGenerous]

I have some milkweed in my front yard that I planted a couple years ago from seed. I hope it finally flowers next year! I do have some Liatris that is blooming now and it has had a steady stream of Monarch butterflies over the last couple weeks.

Good luck on your garden!

I have list for plants in our area to attract butterflies. Milkweed plants seem to be the best. They grew everywhere when I was a kid and haven't seen many since. I started two new perennial gardens this summer. I can't wait for next year!
