"vitamin-rich fruits such as apples, tomatoes..."

Still not correct.  Tomatoes are 100% self pollinated unless a human interferes and takes the flower apart and hand cross pollinates.  All tomatoes need is a little breeze to shake the flower to self pollinate.  We could kill every living insect and they would pollinate just fine.

 Tis the season, so I'm thinking the
 writer made a little typo and misquoted Dalial. It should
 have read as follows. 
 
 While yields for potatoes, rice, wheat,
 and other crops that don’t need pollination may not
 benefit from more bees, vitamin-rich fruits such as apples,
 tomatoes, and citruses won’t deliver a crop without them,
