Pear tree blooms lost to late freeze.

I have lost every single pear bloom the last 2 years to late freeze. My apple trees haven't had any issues.
I am debating on whether to plant more pears or switch to more apple trees do to this problem. I know pear trees have lees issues then apple trees but this doesn't help if they never get the opportunity to produce. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
 
In your zone I wouldn't give up on the pears yet, I would look into some later varieties so your bloom might be a couple weeks later.
