I can't see the individual insects but the damage looks typical for aphid damage. Insecticidal soap is a good material for home gardens. If this is a commercial orchard consult with your county Extension tree fruit agent for current suggestions.

Sorry, the link in my last answer did not work. Try this link for info about Insecticidal Soap. Insecticidal soap is very effective against aphids and spider mites. It can be purchased at most lawn and garden stores.
