Default Bees gone for a break too?

Do bees pollinate tomatoes or are they self pollinating?


Depends on which bees you mean. Honeybees do not pollinate tomatoes,
but many native bees do (and if you're in Tasmania bumblebees will
also pollinate them). Tomatoes require a special kind of pollination
called buzz pollination, which honeybees cannot do. I understand that
tomatoes can be effectively wind pollinated, but don't know much about
it.
