The Astrogeology skill says “5% bonus to mining turret yield”  
Does this bonus apply to Gas Harvesters? By the wording, it _should_, but this is EVE and weird stuff is the norm rather than the exception.

No. Only ways to improve Gas Harvesting is getting Gas Harvesting to 5 so you can use T2 harvesters, mining frigate to 5 for hull bonus (note: expedition frigate skill does **not** improve gas harvesting), and the gas harvesting implants. That’s it.

No, it shouldn’t according to the wording. You don’t harvest gas with a mining turret, you harvest gas with a **Gas Harvester**.

Gas Harvesters require a Turret hardpoint, hence the confusion.

Gas Harvesters are also effected by Foreman Boosts/Bursts.
