We don't have honeybees here either but a few bumble bees and a few smaller native bees seem to do enough pollinating to set enough pears that they need to be thinned some years. It's early but I can now easily see which tiny pears were pollinated and which will drop. It looks like a good pear year here.

I have a Ure pear and a Summercrisp growing near each other. Both
are in flower now. I'm eager to see how pollination does. I read
that pear pollen is weak. There are no honey bees but two or three
bumble bees are present.
