Yes, but only the females have stings. They are quite docile, though, and are not so aggressive as other bees and some wasps.

∙ 14y agoNo, They sting with their stinger.
I don't believe their stinger comes out after, so are able to sting multiple times.
Edit: Unlike honey bees, which lose their stinger after one stinging because it is barbed, bumble bees do not lose their stinger, and can sting multiple times.

∙ 11y agoOnly female bees and wasps can sting. The females of these species have a sharp, retractable needle-like stinger in the tip of the abdomen and connected to a venom gland. The stinger itself is a modified ovipositor (egg-laying tube), which is why only females have them.

When bumble bees sting do they die?
No, they don't. Unlike bumble bees, honey bees die soon after they sting because their stingers have barbs that make it impossible for the bee to remove it, and instead the venom sack pulls free of the body, mortally wounding the bee. Bumble bees do not have barbs on their stinger, making it possible for the bee to remove it's stinger, and sting repeatedly.
