Mongo::Collection undefined method `insert'

I'm trying to import millions of rows from another database into MongoDB. My routine for import uses

MyModel.collection.insert(data_to_import)

And I get

NoMethodError: undefined method `insert' for #<Mongo::Collection:0x000000082bb990>
/home/mika/projects/ca2/lib/tasks/data.rake:36:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
/home/mika/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `eval'
/home/mika/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `<main>'

The model is defined with

class MyModel
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Attributes::Dynamic

end

Does anyone have any suggestions about what is happening?

I can save the rows one by one but that is so inefficient for millions of rows. Would like to get the insert to work.

If you are using mongoid5 use

MyModel.collection.insert_many(data_to_import)

if data_to_import is an array or

MyModel.collection.insert_one(data_to_import)

if data_import is a single document

also consider using MyModel.create if you need valdating the data...
