Excerpt from First Annual Report on the Injurious and Beneficial Insect of Massachusetts In the first place, however, we must not forget the good done by insects. They undoubtedly tend by their attacks to prevent an undue growth of vegetation. The pruning done to a tree or herb by certain insects undoubtedly causes a more healthy growth of the branches and leaves, and ultimately a greater pro duction of fruit. Again, as pollen-bearers, insects are a most powerful agency in nature. It is undoubtedly the fact that the presence of bees in orchards increases the fruit crop, and the thousands of moths, wild bees and other insects, that seem to live without purpose, are really, though few realize it, among the best friends and allies of man.
