Huh. I also have grown up thinking bumblebees don’t sting, but:

> Female bumblebees can sting repeatedly, but generally ignore humans and other animals. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumblebee

So they can sting, they just don’t want to. Further proof, if any were needed, that bumblebees are Best Bees. :)
