unable to perforate ;he skin Of the
fruit, and it is only incidentally that
they suck the juices of fruits injured
by other Hatural causes. The damage
sometimes attributed to these insects
IS due to poultry, wild birds, wind and
hail. and even more frequently to hor-
nets, wasps, vine moths and other ia-
sects. IuStrad of being harmful to
orchards and vineyards, bees perform
the useful service of efTecting the
