Tomatoes are pollinated when a bee visits the blossom. You can also help the plant to set more tomatoes by using a bloom set spray.

Tomatoes are fertilized by cross pollination by flying insects, especially when grown outdoors. When grown in glasshouses (greenhouses) fertilization may be done by the gardener using a camel-hair brush to pass pollen from flower to flower. Gently shaking the plants will free pollen into the air, which may float onto a neighboring plant. In the past, I have used the shaking method on ten tomato plants in a small greenhouse, and had good results.
