Your going to have to polinate them yourself. Lack of bee's in your area ?

Who knows? I generally blame it on the weather, or bees, or both. I personally do not think bees pollenate tomatoes that much. I thump my tomatoe cages with a stick, daily, for the first couple of weeks of blooming.

I'm going to try some clover honey up high this year or go into bee keeping. I saw few last year and a guy at the feed store said they are highly atracted to honey. Just a thought

you could try some blossom set from a nursery. My grandmother used to say that you had to whip em with a willow switch. I just shake the cages to spread the pollen around. good luck.
