Dusting off my IPM training, although Neem is a plant derivative and
generally has low human toxicity, I believe it has been found to be toxic to
honeybees.  Therefore it is advisable to spray early or late in the day when
the bees aren't as active.


All true.  Commercial applicators of neem usually pick a time when
pollinators are not active in the garden.  That is what I do, too.  Also,
there is some evidence that the active ingredient in neem interrupts the
reproductive cycle in some insects, including beneficial ones.
