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.
