I do not think I have reliable data or observations, but I do think I
see more hoverflies and non-bee pollinators. However, this could just be
a bias, since I do not care much for hymenoptera. (But I also don't care
for the hoverflies, so maybe that evens out.)
Generally, the Bay Area has always struck me as unusually insect-free
compared to other urban places.
