I lost all of my flower blooms as well last year. I bad storm blew them all off. The last couple of years I had to be on the look out for white bugs that leave a black chalk on the lower part of the tree as well as the "orange dog".

My problem is that I've got a bunch of pear trees that make way too many pears every year. I end up knocking a bunch off every spring so that the trees don't split with all the weight of the pears. In the fall, I just end up using most of the pears as deer food.

Aphids will secrete a black soot, as well as other sucking insects.

Spray the tree per LSU Ag Center recommendations with a systemic insecticide.

Sevin will not keep bees from pollinating, Sevin will kill the bees, again, spray trees per LSU Ag Center Homeowner Citrus Spray Schedule. You will be able to obtain everything they recommend from your local nursery.
