If your tomato plant seems to be losing its flowers without making fruit, try tapping the flower clusters with a pencil
twice each day. Tomatoes don't need bees for pollination, just vibration to shake the pollen around on hot, humid days.

I go out and "tickle" my tomato flowers all of the time :-)
