Yes and no. Male bumble bees do not have a stinger. Females on the other hand sting. The sting is very painful and may require treatment to get the stinger out of your skin.

There is one treatment that I surely recommend requires baking soda, water, and an ear cleaner.

You simply hold ice onto the wound until it becomes less painful, thus the ice only cools the wound. After that you take a small bowl or cup and pour about 1-2 teaspoons, add coldwater. Then take the ear cleaner and mix then dip it into the wet baking soda. Take then baking soda and rub it on the sting with the ear cleaner(Q-tip).

No they do not as they do not have a stinger. Only the females can sting (including the queen bee).
