Does anyone have any recipes for spray or something for insect control or repellent, on vegetable plants that won't harm the bees?

Quick Lime...It helps the soil, too. Raises the PH.

I use Diatomaceous Earth for the garden pests,won't harm the bees and works fairly well against most pests.Lowes is on place that carries it.

Soak a few cigarettes in water overnight and filter it clean. The nicotine extracted into the water is poisinous to insects (like it is to people). Before the modern "fancy" sprays became accepted, nicotine was the method of choice for many garden extermination aplications.

If you have a Tractor Supply Store close, this might be worth looking in to:

Plant enough that the insects can have their share too.
