Tomatoes are awesome this way, and why they're so easy to grow. Even without bees. A stiff breeze is enough to make them pollinate. Perfect bisexual.

Yep. Pepper plants as well. I just give mine a good shake unless I'm crossing specific varieties in a Windows environment looking for specific outcomes.

If I've got a cool cross I'll put it under grow lights in the garage and pollinate it by using a cotton swab. If everything works out in a few generations I have a neat new breed by self pollinating a cross breed.

Cliestogamy - flowers that pollinate themselves.
