I have several clumps of this stuff growing on the farm. But do not know what it is. Anyone know? The bees seem to love the small flowers.

Difficult to tell from the photo, but it looks like some kind of mint. Check the stem: Mint family plant stems are square. Bees generally love 'em.

My suggestion:

Bugleweed: Toothed leaves. Similar to wild mint but without the odor. 6-24" tall. 8 varieties in the Northeast. Blooms July-Oct.
