Andrew could be bees, but could also be pollinating source not near by.

Many fruit species require cross pollination with another,even  slightly
different tree or bush.
Most apples & blueberries for example.
Unless they are a type specifically bred to pollinate w same.

There is a yellow cherry tree down on Elmgrove which did not bloom for many
years. Even with bees around.
Most of us did not know it was a fruit tree.
Then suddenly, at 30 - 40 ft tall, cherries!  I suspect someone planted a
relevant cherry tree and it got big enough to cross pollinate.
