How can I stop an ornamental peach from forming peaches.

Can I spray the tree with something when it is blossoming that will kill the blossoms but not harm the bees? I love the shape of this tree but it is so messy in the late summer when it drops its fruit and since it’s not very good tasting I would just as soon eliminate the peaches from forming.
