Those are Aphids and they are sucking the life out of your plants. Use Neem Oil or Detergent in Water to prevent and kill these pests.

Also, encourage Lady Bugs, Spiders or Ants in your garden to keep pests down.

Don't Ants "farm" those Aphids to milk them?

Certain species will... You need Fire Ants or a similar predatory Ant. There are several adequate species distributed widely on every continent except Antarctica.

I saw a ladybug yesterday. She's on the case. Also noticed that some spiders have moved in. Guess I need more.

You can buy predators at many gardening stores. 400-600 Ladybugs for about 6 dollars

Also- what's the best battle plan for Neem oil? Best place to buy in bulk, spraying method, how often, etc

Oz per gallon. Added to a sprayer. Bulk? Not necessary. Spray once a week.
