Do tomato plants have to be pollinated by bees? If so, can they be grown inside?

Tomatoes, like many flowering fruits, will self pollinate from gravity and air movement. Bees are not required. Bees will cause more fruit per plant, but that results in smaller tomatoes. You can grow them indoors just fine.

tomatoes will not grow inside unless you have a sunlamp for them..they need 8 hours of sun a day..No they don't need to be pollinated.
Reply:you can buy a spray product for pollinating your plants...





as mentioned you need extremely good lighting for them...


do you have a balcony? or bright window (in addition to lights?)
Reply:Tomatoes do not grow well inside without grow-lights. If grown inside, you would need to hand-pollinate them. I even do this outside with a piece of typing paper held under the blossoms and tap on them, then sprinlke the pollin onto other blossoms.
