Bumblebees are generally docile and only sting in self-defense. They are not as aggressive as other stinging insects and will usually only sting if they feel threatened or provoked. Additionally, bumblebees die after stinging, so they are more inclined to avoid using their stinger unless absolutely necessary.

Bumble bees do not have barbs on their stinger, making it possible for the bee to remove it's stinger, and sting repeatedly.
