Bumblebees are the dominant pollinating bee in my area. Sweat bees and honey bees are rarely sighted due to their demise. I have spent hours watching the bumblebees and they don't play favorites amongst the tomato blossoms here. They methodically hit all the blossoms that are ready. Bumblebees are my native bee and though they are little brutes, I'm thankful they have survived.
