I don't know what this weed is, but the bees go crazy over it. The chickens won't eat it either. Some sort of nettle?

Around here in the spring we get Henbit Deadnettle.
Ours have purple flowers. It looks sort of like that.
Our goats will not eat it. It's very aromatic I believe in the mint family.

Someone on BYC identified it. It's Common Horehound. It is in the mint family.

Now the wild mustard is in bloom and the bees are all over it.
