    Although Ayers is self fruitful where I am, I have not found it to be a reliable pollinator of other pears. I don't grow Bartlett, but from my understanding, it is also self fruitful. As a general rule 2 self fruitful varieties usually increase the fruit set of each other, providing they bloom at the same time and are fairly close together. So I would answer your question with a qualified yes.
