I spray my bee balm with bakingsoda and water at least once a week, I have gotten the mold too before. It doesn't kill the plant. You can cut it down and it will return next year. a spraying once a week of the baking soda should help. Where you already have it you might want to pick leaves off that have it and keep spraying.

This year I am doing it as a preventive right now. In the past i have gotten the mold and have sprayed after I have gotten it and It didn't seem to help, but I was not very attentive to it as I should have been.
