The fruits are firm yet very juicy.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> The taste profile can be tricky! If eaten too early or right off the vine, they can be unpleasantly acidic\/sour.

Thank you, girls! \ud83d\ude18<\/p>\n<p>I grew it this year in a polycarbonate greenhouse. I pulled it out in September\u2014it was a very powerful bush, over 2 meters (6.5 ft) tall, with a stem as thick as my arm. The fruits started to ripen later than the rest of my varieties.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a highly productive variety, wonderfully beautiful, but&#8230; honestly, I didn&#8217;t like it the first time I tried it, because it was disgustingly sour! However, after some time, after all the tomatoes were removed from the greenhouse and a portion of the harvest was eaten or processed, it was finally this Bumblebee&#8217;s turn. And, lo and behold, the taste had noticeably changed for the better! Of course, it didn&#8217;t become marmalade-sweet, but it was perfectly edible, with a nice sweetness, just like Svetlana described.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/IMG_20210717_174426.jpg.5bde2b6e38537a4b27e9981c717ea64e.jpg.9762c6723176b0f6d0832ffaff4c82d1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/IMG_20210717_174426.jpg.5bde2b6e38537a4b27e9981c717ea64e.thumb.jpg.85aa1cedeaa46bc628bd35f6177fd831.jpg\" alt=\"Bosque Blue Bumblebee on the vine\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/IMG_20210807_223828.jpg.1bc35c803e43e1e784330ce88327f691.jpg.f49c727154b7727bc6210cf93b5005c3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/IMG_20210807_223828.jpg.1bc35c803e43e1e784330ce88327f691.thumb.jpg.52d40ce986b644f1f377b1825f1cbea6.jpg\" alt=\"Hand holding harvested dark cocktail tomatoes\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/IMG_20210807_223943.jpg.1509c1f42f1185a78dc092d0c5387a3d.jpg.a208f5a24a1d3a16101bcb10231ec1f4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/IMG_20210807_223943.jpg.1509c1f42f1185a78dc092d0c5387a3d.thumb.jpg.14c48ed6479e8572c1cd72b661d447d5.jpg\" alt=\"Beautifully colored yellow and purple fruits\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">T<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">tomatinka (Vera) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (14,911 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Tyumen Region, Siberia, Russia (USDA Zone 3)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_09\/20250914_103006.jpg.97a186d89f9705b999d63a26a2895f4d.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_09\/20250914_103006.thumb.jpg.20d298fd981ff1c2c661b5298aa4f7db.jpg\" alt=\"Harvest of Bosque Blue Bumblebee\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Summary of Bosque Blue Bumblebee \ud83c\udf3f Plant Habit: INDETERMINATE (Tall\/Vining).
