Is Neem Oil safer for Bees? Also how should we use Neem Oil, what strength and how should a spray be prepared from the Oil.

Neem oil is practically non-toxic to birds, mammals, bees and plants.
With regards to the Neem Oil for keeping lit beetles away we recommend using a hand sprayer with 1 teaspoon of Neem Oil (5ml) plus a small amount of washing up liquid (as a surfactant) with approx. 500ml water. So 1 part Neem Oil to 100 parts water (1:100). Neem oil is practically non-toxic to birds, mammals, bees and plants.
