Soapy Insecticide Spray W/ Neem Oil?

Im wondering if it is a good idea to combine an organic soap like Dr.Bonner's Unscented Castile Liquid soap with neem oil. I want emulsify the neem oil into the water and I know soaps help do that. I also looked up things about the use of Soaps to kill soft body insects like aphids. Those would be 2 properties of an organic insecticide that I think would be real beneficial, kill by contact on soft body insects and by ingestion from the sucking insects. I'm just wondering if this solution might hurt the bees and other pollinators, I'm also not exactly sure if the soap I have will hurt the plants, I doubt it because I read it and it is made up of coconut oil and other plant oils.
