Default Tell me more about nipping out broad bean tips

I've never grown broad beans before but mine, sown in March I think, are now
about 8" high with lots of flowers.

There's no sign of blackfly on them but I'm sure I've heard something about
nipping out the tips being a preventative.

What's regarded as the tip? A couple of leaves or the lot above the flowers?

What's the purpose?

TIA

Mary
