I was surprised, after tolerating an underground hive of honeybees for years, to find that they don't pollinate tomatoes. [now they're gone; a punk kid ran through several yards, and the county paid to kill the hive so that the police could look for the gun, having narrowed where he dropped the murder weapon to three yards. {it was such a nice neighborhood when I moved in 30 someodd years ago . .
bumblebees, however, do. [and apparently, it's more about shaking the plant than transfer, knocking the pollen loose. Tomatoes self pollinate, but wind & insects can improve yield]
