VIEW MOREA pest is a pest only if someone thinks it is! Insects and mites that are pests in one situation can be useful in another, sometimes even providing important commercial products. The honeybee is the best known example. It pollinates crops and provides honey. There are a number of less famous insects and mites that provide us with valuable products, as well:
