I have grown a few long beans (probably also known as snake beans). While
they are just fruiting, much of the beans are now covered with small dark
fly-like pests on the beans as well as the tender parts of the vines. As I
wish to consume the beans (if any are left), I am afraid to apply pesticides
which may be harmful for consumption. Appreciate some advice as to the
appropriate type of pesticide. Thank You.

There are a whole host of products made for use on vegetables. If
you're not sure, going to a nursery with a knowledgeable staff
would be a good idea; but a bit more expensive than a big box
store. Always read the label, even knowledgeable staff can get it
wrong sometimes.

If you're of a do-it-yourself bent, you can try here for some
suggestions
