First pear tree to bloom

One of our pear trees is blooming and it seems to have a lot of blooms this year. Unfortunately the pears never taste good no matter when I pick them. I keep experimenting with the right time to pick them. This tree is a "John" type of pear. Our others are Bartletts and a Bosc. So far I haven't had much luck with any of the five pear trees that we have! They are one of the reasons that we started beekeeping!
