I didn't have any pears at all this year or last, I'm wondering if it's because the city has been spraying for "skeeters". They do it in daylight and I wonder if they are getting the bees also. On the other hand, nut trees don't depend on bees like fruit trees. I hear tree rats cutting green pecans now over my house, based on the number of nuts I can see, I guess pecans are affected also.
