Oregano is the real favourite here. All pollinators (bees, bumble bees, even butterflies) are all totally enamoured with the oregano bushes, they hardly notice other flowers ..

I can't recall ever seeing honey bees (the life cycle MissS details above) on my tomato flowers but lots of bumble bees, which are buzz pollinators. Can honeys even buzz pollinate?* If not, I'd expect them to be less of a cross-pollination risk than a bumble. Whether or not a particular variety has an exserted or inserted stigma makes a big difference, too.

*Just goo-gooed for info and found hbs don't buzz pollinate so not helpful to the plants that need that service

I snitched 2 tomatoes from a neighbor that were labeled on the container italian ice for the seeds.
double whammy,no seeds in either tomato and when I just goo goo the italian ice they are definitely not.
The ones I got were cherry size but red.
