Will the Neem Oil hurt the beneficials after you spray?

I have so many bumblebees and often find them sleeping early morning right on my flowers and on all my plants so I'm not one to apply anything that will hurt them. Neem is no different. I've decided that using predatory mites is a better way in my opinion. Have you thought of trying that? Our bees and beneficial insects need all the help they can get. More and more growers are resorting other less harmful ways to combat the issue.

Cool thank you. Starting my neem oil now. What’s growing in the kiddie pools? 😊

Thank you for sharing your knowldge🤗🥰👍

Yeah I am out on neem oil. I don't need to be killing bees and shit.

You need to use soap so it adheres

Thank you. I learned that ants and aphids work together so you may want an ant deterrent too.

I read that mixing neem cake to your soil mix helps the ward off those pesky pests too!

Your title made me assume you didn’t use it….. I was wrong… Thanks … I’ll stick with your wisdom along with James prigioni .. 🫡

What did you call the yellow flowered plant?? I have treees that look exactly like that, only get 5 or 6 ft high, and are so dainty. Nobody can tell me what plant/tree it is

How often should this be applied to apple trees?

spinosad is my go-to

Dan, what is that amazing purple blooming bush at 0.29? It looks like a lilac but it's way prettier than my lilac! :) Thanks for the video on the Neem.

how long does the product last? is it once a year? if so, would it be wise to spray the fruit trees before they pop up leaves and blossoms?

I sprayed Neem yesterday evening, and on my broccoli plants I saw grey dried what looked like ladybugs may have already eaten many of them!!
I checked and washed away shell's as well as any new ones not seen!! Now, I'm dealing with Armadillos wrecking my garden!
Trap set out last night! Nothing! Looked around the garden and ONLY the corner of one bed damaged! Maybe the age so much the food source is gone NOW? I will continue to try to catch and release for a week because I have rented it out! Free from the dept of animal control!!

i found the best use of neem oil is as a very weak solution for seedlings. for people setting seeds away in a warm environment, check your trays at night with a magnifying glass. i discovered minute bugs eating the seedlings from their stiocking tops. bear in mind, i used a freshly opened bag of seed compost. quite often we think it's just bad germination. the neem oil cured the problem.......................brian

Would Neem be good for aphids on roses too?

I have found when you can't use neem (2 weeks before harvest and during harvest) spray the plants with water that had 1 tsp dish soap and 1 tbsp of the liquid from a jar of minced garlic. Aphids won't eat the plants because they hate garlic and I have culled a really bad infestation in as little as 3 days. Garlicky lettuce doesn't taste as bad as neem flavored lettuce. Lol!

We grow neem trees in our yard here in Tampa area FL. Great for so many things. We got ours from a local Neem Tree Farm that carries a wide variety of neem products, including whole neem oil. Unfortunately, some of the big box neem oil has the azadirachtin removed so they can sell it for big $ rendering the leftover neem oil much less effective.
We had to use Capt. Jack dead bug brew on the white flies infestation because the neem was slower acting on them.
Thanks for the great gardening wisdom, as always!

So 2 hours later when all the beneficials show up, the neem oil has magically disappeared.

It works pretty good on bed bugs.

Very useful info. Love the artichokes just hanging out, Idk why I really like artichoke foliage. Awesome yard btw.

The bugs here in Arizona won't die no matter what I put on the plants

Your garden is great!

It don’t do well with black spot, I tried it

Isn't there a better way to get rid of the aphids that doesn't risk hurting the good bugs? How would we know for sure the Bees and Ladybugs, etc aren't being hurt after the fact from the residue?

When spraying an apple tree to kill off a bug, should I wait till after it's done blooming?

You rock. God bless y’all

Thank you! This was very helpful!

Difficult decision. Even if neem is sprayed where the good guys aren't, doesn't the neem oil stay on the plant? And will it deter bees in the future.

I'm sure plain dish soap like Fairy or Dawn suffocates the aphid also, and doesn't smell so strong?
But check out the ratio first! It's like 1 drop of fairy-up with 1 ltr of water or sumtin? ❤

😊 nice one Dan!

Always get good information from you Dan thanks for sharing God bless you and yours.❤

Bless ya Dan Peace upon him today and may his favor be with you and your familiy.

Nice video! Thanks for the good info!

I good way of dealing with certain pests is to use sacrificial planting. Blue Hubbard squash for bores and some worms and this year I just learned about Peredovic sunflowers for stink bugs and leaf footed invaders which are big invaders for me. Just plant them a ways off from the veggies. The seeds are black oil seeds.

Great advise early morning are late evening yes sir

Avoid it all together. Use pressure water spray to get rid of aphids.

This winter we had an odd week w a super hard freeze in Texas... and currently the only beneficial bugs I am seeing is ladybugs and hoverflies. I will NOT be using any sort of insect control accept blasting water from the hose. We need all of our bees and butterflies.. and so far I'm not seeing any??! I would never spray Neem on blossoms... is that really safe for the bees and other pollinators after it dries??

So how long before it’s safe for the bees and ladybugs to come back or will they instinctively stay away. It seems timing is everything but overcast day, no rain and no beneficials is tricky to get the timing right.

I live in Central Florida zone 9b and thank you Dan for giving us all the information. Everyone's Garden is different and everyone treats their Garden the way that they feel they need to treat it. It's nice that we can all share our ideas and take what we need and leave the rest. We have little guys called chameleons that we have to be careful of when spraying at night. They like to curl up in our leaves of certain plants that are attractive for aphids. I hate to wake them up but I don't want them to get harmed in any way just a thought about good little creatures that might be in the leaves of your plants. Happy planting and have a blessed day

I didn't know that leaf curl was aphids. Thanks again Dan.

My bare root trees had this problem first year!

Do you have any hawthorn berry plants? PS id love to see a update video on STRAWBERRY TREE.

Thanks, Dan. ( :

Has anyone else had the problem with Neem oil that I had? I used it on my young fruit trees by label directions, and it burned the leaves on the trees. The leaves looked like burnt potatoe chips after a few days. 1 pear tree lost 100% of it's new leaves. I basically lost an entire season of growth due to 1 application of the Neem oil.

I used a regular spray bottle for years and it takes so long to coat the plants. Totally investing in an electric sprayer this year. Thank you!!!!
