the real answer is yes! bumble bees do sting people. i guess the one that don't sting are the sting-less bees.

improved answer by chewy89422:

most of the time they sting you is because they think your a threat.or if you spray water at them and they sting you is because they are mad and want you to stop spraying them.or they well sting you if your next to a flower that thee trying to get pollin from.

Bees only sting in self-defence or in defence of the colony. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone.
