Thank you for making this video. I love the Beautyberry plant and am lucky enough to have several growing wild in my yard. Is there a better time of year to use the leaves that would make the salve more effective as a bug repellent?

I find the summer months when the plant is full of leaves is the best time to harvest the leaves
