The primary reasons pomegranates don't produce usually has to do with water, pollination, sunlight and maybe a little about fertilization. Pomegranates are drought resistant, but to set fruit, they need additional irrigation. Next spring, when the buds appear, increase the amount of water that you're giving the tree.

Has it been pollinated by bees

We’ve tried to encourage populations of bees but it seems that all we get are wasps (I have a huge fig out there that gets pollinated by wasps)

You can get a cotton bud and go round pollinating other flowers and the pomegranate ones which is basically like what a bee does but with a cotton bud

Oh perfect! However are the wasps not able to pollinate in the same way the bees are?
