LOL That dust on the bee’s legs is pollen it has been collecting. Typically you wont see many honey bees buzzing around tomato flowers. Honey bees do not pollinate tomatoes because they cannot get to the pollen and the flowers do not produce nectar. Other pollinating insects can help pollinate a tomato flower. They are the cause of cross-pollination.
