Tall, green, leafy vines competitively slither upwards towards the sun-drenched ceiling. Dangling from the vines are the sweet little gems we know as vine tomatoes. In varieties of red, yellow, orange and brown, these colourful tomatoes come with a backstory like no other. Here at Beekist\u00ae, they have perfectly created the most flavoursome tomatoes \u2013 with a little help from their friends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See, to create perfect tomatoes each time round, it\u2019s a little more difficult than imagined. Beekist\u00ae have absolutely nailed every last fuzzy detail and have a growing philosophy like no other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beekist\u00ae is home to lots of happy workers, in the form of friendly and hard-working bumblebees! Every single day, their bees fly freely, buzzing high and low throughout the various tomato vine varieties. These cute little workers gently visit every single vine to ensure pollination, just the way nature intended it to be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bees get a real buzz doing what they do best and work together with their human friends to finish off the finer details. After the bumblebees have clocked off for the day, Beekist\u2019s\u00ae other happy workers tend, nurture and carefully observe each tomato. There\u2019s no impressive machine or technology that can decide once a tomato is ready for picking. This knowledge comes with good old-fashioned expertise, painstaking patience, and an experienced eye. The bees and tomatoes get to do their own thing with minimal interference but have round-the-clock care to support their growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/171030_Beekist-0735-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When the time comes, every single tomato is hand-picked with love and carefully packed to maintain their full, sweet flavour that\u2019s fresh from the vine. This means foodies get to taste these flavoursome morsels just hours after being picked \u2013 you can\u2019t get fresher than that! Beekist\u2019s\u00ae natural growing and hand-harvested process ensure foodies are getting nothing but the best, every time round.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beekist\u00ae have a large variety of tomatoes in various shapes, sizes, colours and flavours.
