What tie should I use to attach joists to a beam sitting on top of the
joist. I know I could put it in flush with the joist and just use a
regular joist hanger , but I would like to put the beam on top. The
joists are 2x6s and the beam is a 4*12.

This is an unusual situation--I doubt there is a piece of hardware
made specifically for this. Simpson strong tie sells heavy duty
twisted straps that would work, though i don't think they are made for
that purpose (google it). If you are dealing with a building
inspector, they might want to see it engineered.

A 'hurricane' strap would do it (the ones for connecting rafters to
top-plates), but you could probably just toenail it.
This sounds unusual, why are you putting a beam *on top* of joists?
A beam indicates it will be carrying a load so the joists would have
to be supported to carry the beam. A 2x6 joist can't even span 10' @
16"OC, nevermind carrying a beam and additional load.

Hope you have an architect or better an engineer involved.

I think he wants to hang the joists from the beam- Ed, please clarify.

That was my take on it too. Using normal terminology, beams support
joists, not the other way around.
