 Can you give me the fingering for the B and B-flat below middle C for the recorder? That is if it is possible to play on a descant recorder.

 did you check the fingering charts on this site? There might be recorder fingerings.

 The lowest note on the descant recorder is the C above Middle C, but this is normally written as Middle C and all the other notes are written an octave too low as well, to make the music easily readable. 
 
You can't play the B or Bb below middle C on a descant, since Middle C is the lowest note.
