Local journalism protects communities and more

Wed, 08/19/2020 - 4:00am

Our local journalists write about the news, sports, events and community announcements, take photos, conduct interviews about the people and places in Morris County and then gather all that into weekly editions of the The Steel Country Bee. Even other media outlets have local people covering local events. It’s the job of these journalists to inform, educate and entertain our readers. The information our journalists provide to their Morris County communities allows our readers to make better informed decisions when going to the polls and speak up about decisions being made by local policymakers.

Try Lemon Balm in your Garden

Try Lemon Balm in your Garden

Wed, 08/19/2020 - 4:00am

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), also known as Bee Balm, is a particularly exciting herb for you to place in a shady spot of your garden. It’s perennial, requires little maintenance, expands through its roots, and has a great namesake fragrance. You can buy seeds, but those who already have it will usually (and perhaps gladly!) give you some clumps from their garden. Though perennial, leaves usually die in winter, only to come back with gusto in the spring! Bees love the herb so much that the name Melissa in Greek means bee, hence the alternate name of Bee Balm.
