What pollinates apples, besides bees?

I'd like to plant apple trees -- only a couple -- in my yard.

If I must have honeybees, then I'll look into the details of that.
But honeybees, who wander far, are likely to run into insecticides. I
live in a city, next to lots of neighbors and even a school. There's
no way to prevent them all from using bug-killer.

Thank you!

Seems safe enough to post w/o getting into the bee fray.

You should consider the self pollinating varieties:

This may help or you could choose two varieties that are mutually fertile.
It doesn't make much difference if there are no bees though.
