Pears do need pollinators of another variety (or ornamental pear).
My folks have had great success with "Reliance" variety peach in WI. That peach does not need a pollinator, and can literally rip itself apart with peaches in a good year (you may need to thin the fruit).

Most Apple trees needs a pollinator, but Golden Delicious is a self fruitful variety. Same with Pears, but Kieffer and Duchess set good crops without a pollinator. Most Peach trees are self pollinating. Necterines do not need a pollinator, but are more susceptible to frost injury than Peach trees.

ok thank you, I just planteda yellow delicious and a fugiapple trees and then onered pear and onegeorgiapeach tree. They all went into bloom but I dont have many bees. I only saw bummble bees on them.

Yeah it is a shortage of honey bees, for several reasons. Other bees will aid in pollination but none as good as the honey bee. I also grow a Georgia peach called "Bell of Georgia" it is a white peach, and one of the best tasting peaches I know of.
Good Luck!!

Its not unheard of to get peaches the next year after planting, infact I've seen peach trees bloom and try to produce the the same year its planted, but you shouldn't letthathappen. The trees need time to grow and put their energy into a strong root system.
Apple and Pear trees, depending on variety take much longer, years really. On average 4 to 5 years, but you will possibly get an apple or two sooner. The apple and pear trees live much longer than peach trees and it takes longer for them to start producing. It will be 12 to 15 years before they produce bushels. And of course frost will be the ultimate factor then.

WOW I did not know that, I was hoping to get stuff by next year. Oh well everything good takes time right. I know this is not deer related so thanks for the help. But wait the deer will eat it too.
