In 2011, I planted Blondkopfchen (which produces a zillion blooms) and Tommy Toe near some other tomatoes. The bumblebees routinely worked over the blooms of those two varieties, but none of the nearby tomato varieties.
I liked them both but haven't grown them since.
For the last 2 years, bumblebees didn't seem interested in any of my tomatoes...or my basil either.
I used to live at a house that has a Veronica (Speedwell) by the driveway. Its flower spikes were purple, but during good weather it would look brown from even a short distance because so many bumblebees were crawling all over it.
My greenthumb grandmother always planted Bee Balm (monarda) to attract bees.
