It’s listed as a pesticide.

It’s also toxic to honey bees, and should only be applied in the evening when bees won’t bee doing their beedniss.
Thank you so very much for this information. I found a couple of colonies of small black caterpillars on my sunflower plants today and “neemed” them - then stomped on them.
I appreciate the info about the bees. I was squirting this morning and saw a bee, and stopped spraying that plant. I hope I didn’t hurt the bee.
After reading your link, I’m wondering if my concentration is adequate. I’m only using 1/2 to 2 tbsp of neem oil in 24 oz water to treat.
