Gather foxglove, raspberry leaves, wild marjorum, mint, camomile, and
valerian; mix them with butter made on May Day, and let the herbs also
be gathered on May Day. Boil them all together with honey; then rub the
vessel into which the bees should gather, both inside and out, with
the mixture; place it in the middle of a tree, and the bees will soon
come. Foxglove or “fairy fingers” is called “the great herb” from its
wondrous properties.
