Tomatoes are attractive to honeybees, but only if there is no better source of pollen around.
Joseph, the trait you are looking for is more abundant pollen. Tomato flowers produce a range of pollen from none to enough to coat your fingers in yellow from one flower. I have not looked at the genetics involved, but the bees will find the most abundant source of pollen and work it assiduously. Best option would be to plant several varieties and watch to see who the bees like to play with.
