Semi-determinate
Honeybee earns its sweet name with every bite. This yellow cherry tomato ripens quickly and deliciously in huge clusters, each 1-inch-diameter fruit bursting with sugars and juice. We have found it to be irresistible straight from the vine, and there are no complaints about the yields—you will harvest giant trusses of this quick-and-easy tomato.
Very well-branched, this tomato is vigorous right out of the seed. Many cherry tomatoes have been bred with tough skins (to resist cracking in the hot sun), but Honeybee is succulent and mouthwatering, through and through. The plant is quite disease resistant, and the yields are huge. There's no downside to this beauty.
What, you may ask, does "semi-determinate" mean? Well, for Honeybee it means that the plant will reach about 4 to 5 feet tall (instead of growing up and up and up like some do) and that the fruit will set in large clusters all at once—but also that these clusters may repeat several times over a long season. Instead of getting a few ripe tomatoes every day, you'll get a giant ripe cluster once every few weeks, depending on how long your summer is, what the weather does, and how you feed and water the plant. Many gardeners love semi-determinate plants because they are the best of both worlds: a big harvest at once, plus a more restrained plant habit.
Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant outdoors when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 2½ feet apart, and cage or stake them to hold up all those yummy yellow cherries.

Best yellow cherry tomato 0 people found this helpfulI'm amazed how well these plants are doing. 6 feet tall and loaded with clusters of sweet yellow tomatoes with a bit of citrusy acidity. I'm in Alabama and get afternoon sun, struggle with soil fungus, and these plants are setting fruit and ripening in late July. Have only had minimal spitting too!

I grew 3 and they were all different 0 people found this helpfulDid anyone else’s seeds develop into plants that were not honeybee yellow globes? I kept three plants from the seeds are started in 2022 and one was as expected;large yellow, extremely prolific and flavorful. Another one was much smaller yellow grape and the third one was red and pretty bland in taste. Perhaps mine was a one-off? I will try again this year I picked fruit until third week of November of the large yellow globe plant, they just didn’t quit.

Disappointing 0 people found this helpfulNoticeably inferior to Sweet Million and Sun Gold, the latter being the winner by far in terms of taste and yeld. Not Sweet enough. Too acidic. Il enjoyed it much less.

Doesn’t taste like the description 0 people found this helpfulI bought this as an alternative to Sunsugar, which I could not find seeds for this year. So far I am not impressed by the flavor. Most have been highly acidic. I just waited until one fell off the vine, and it was less acidic, but not comparable to Sun Sugar. The good: We planted it in a raised bed in the greenhouse, and used a net for it to climb. It is perfect for that, and looks great. It set fruit long before others, and is extremely productive. I’m hoping as the season goes on, maybe the tomatoes will taste like they are supposed to. They are worth planting for productivity, but as is, I’ll throw them in with sauce tomatoes.

Best tomato 0 people found this helpfulThis was the best tomato I have ever grown to date. Very sweet tomatoes, disease resistant and it kept bearing again and again. The taste is really good. When fully ripe, it is super sweet. It bears heavily, and I must have got over 300+ tomatoes per plant even though I did not prune it at all. I'll probably grow this every year.

Honeybee Cherry Tomatoes - #52748 0 people found this helpfulThese plants far exceeded my expectations! Once they started producing, they never stopped. In fact, the only thing that outlasted them was the jalapeno pepper plants. The tomatoes were sweet and delicious, and I enough that I was able to share with others. I will definitely plant these again in 2020. I'm in Northeast Texas, zone 8.

Best tomato of the season 1 people found this helpfulThese were the first to produce in our garden. They were loaded with tomatoes that were absolutely delicious all summer long. They were still the best producers up to the night of our first frost.
-
True to description 1 people found this helpfulI planted two seedlings, one per 10 gallon pot. At the peak of production I was probably picking over a pint a day for several days in a row. They are delicious raw but also make excellent sauce. Will grow them next season for sure.

I will grow these every year! 1 people found this helpfulI was gifted a pack of these seeds last year from a friend. I grew/planted 2 plants... just 2 plants. That was plenty! In zone 9a here, started in greenhouse last March, put in the ground the weekend of Mother's Day. Had a full, bountiful harvest of these little golden gems from mid/late July all the way until Thanksgiving! If the frost had not come to the Sierras, I am sure these would have kept producing! This is the most prolific cherry-type tomato I have ever grown, and I will grow them every year from here on out. My family loved them, I loved them, my friends all enjoyed them. Even the sungold variety is not as sweet as these!
