When I pollinate my tomato plants, I use an electric toothbrush. If you have one, just touch it to the branches and pollen will fall. Bees normally pollinate tomatoes, male and female parts in tomato flower. All of my flowers are pollinated by hand. Wife says I'm weird, but bees are disappearing so I do what I must.

Thank you Skunnymonster....You never know until you give it a whirl.
I've probably got more pollen collected than I will need for pollinating just two branches, so for the rest of it I'm trying something I saw on Youtube a while back. Cut the stems of the pollen branches, place them in a glass of water with the pollen sacs hanging over into a dish or glass. Then you can tap the pollen out easier than trying to do it on the plant where a lot of it falls where you don't want it to. I snipped off the larger leaves. I will tap them tonight to see what I get. The video showed using a very small paint brush to get the pollen sacs to drop the dust, but I think that will trap too much pollen in the brush. We'll see.
