What makes it special?
Artisan Pink Bumblebee is a modern, open-pollinated cherry tomato from the Artisan series. The small fruit ripens pink to red with golden-yellow stripes and sets a striking colour accent in mixed tomato bowls.
The indeterminate plant continually forms new trusses through the season. Fully ripe, the fruit tastes sweet-fruity with a pleasantly lively acidity. We raise our young plants ourselves in Illmitz.
Flavour & Use
Pink Bumblebee combines clear sweetness with a lightly spicy, fresh acidity. The small fruit has firm skin and a juicy interior.
The variety is ideal for snacking straight off the plant, for salads, a light lunch, lunchboxes and colourful tomato mixes. Halved, it also suits bruschetta, focaccia or briefly braised dishes.
Fruit & Plant
Artisan Pink Bumblebee is a vigorous, indeterminate cherry tomato. It usually grows to around 180–220 cm through the season and needs a reliable support.
The round fruit is roughly 2–3 cm and usually weighs around 15–25 g. Its pink-to-red base colour is overlaid with golden-yellow to orange stripes. The variety is classed as early to medium-early and fruits over a long period.
Growing & Care
Plant Pink Bumblebee in a sunny, warm and, where possible, rain-sheltered spot. In a bed, greenhouse or a pot from around 20 litres, it can be trained well with one or two shoots.
Check side shoots regularly and prune according to the desired training method. A sturdy string or tomato stake is required.
Water evenly from below and leave enough air between plants. Regular, moderate feeding during fruiting supports the continuous fruit set.

Artisan Pink Bumblebee – a striped cherry tomato for snacking
Artisan Pink Bumblebee is a pink-and-yellow striped cherry tomato with a long harvest window. The small fruit is sweet-fruity and at the same time pleasantly fresh. We raise our open-pollinated tomato plants ourselves in Illmitz.
What sets Pink Bumblebee apart?
The variety belongs to the Artisan range of colourful cherry tomatoes. Its round fruit shows golden-yellow or orange stripes against a pink-to-red base. No two fruit look exactly alike, which makes Pink Bumblebee especially good for colourful tomato platters.
Flavour and use
Fully ripe fruit combines sweetness with a light acidity and spicy tomato notes. It suits snacking, salads and a light lunch. Halved, it also works on bruschetta or focaccia and can be briefly braised in a pan.
Growth and harvest time
Pink Bumblebee grows indeterminate and forms new shoots, flowers and trusses right up to the end of the season. The first fruit usually ripens early to medium-early. With good care, more follows over many weeks.
Growing Artisan Pink Bumblebee
The vigorous cordon tomato needs a sunny spot and a sturdy support. We recommend one- or two-shoot growing. Side shoots are removed regularly to keep the plant manageable and well-ventilated.
Growing in a pot
Pink Bumblebee also grows reliably in a container, given at least around 20 litres of substrate. Even watering is especially important for cherry tomatoes, since strong swings in moisture can encourage ripe fruit to split.
A young plant, raised by us
Our Artisan Pink Bumblebee young plants grow in Illmitz. The variety is ideal if you're after an open-pollinated, high-yielding snacking tomato with a distinctive colour.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

I’ve been buying my chili powder from the Tschida family for years, and it’s the best you can get. The family is always very friendly and helpful as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend their products to everyone.

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
