Thanks for the question.
These insects are aphids. Given their yellow color, I'm guessing that they are specifically known as oleander aphids (Aphis nerii). They generally do not do any harm to the plant. If you wish, you just hose them off
Here are some sources of information about aphids including remedial procedures:
