No. Deer repellents, as stinky as they are, won't prevent bees and other insects from visiting the flowers of plants, unless the flowers are saturated. When you spray the plants, do it before the flower buds open.

A more likely cause of poor pollination of insect-pollinated plants is bad weather. Cold and/or rainy weather prevents insects from doing their thing.
