Hummers and Tomatoes

Starlight · May 26, 2016

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to all the ins and outs of tomato plants, but as far as I know the flowers only make pollen, right?

The reason I ask is because I have hummingbird feeders up and one that hangs by tomatoes. I have for days now watched the hummers be all up in my tomato plants and they are going to feed on the blossoms too. It's not just my plants. Same thing happening with neighbors and their tomato plants.

I know the hummers eat tons of sketters, other protein bugs and tons of necatar plants, but does anybody happen to know, do they eat pollen? Craziest thing I ever saw. They will hang on the tomato strings, fight and hide all through the plants too.

They have fits at me when I scout my plants or feed them their ferts.
