sorry about repeats and the green stuff lol hope this helps :)
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).

Creeping water bugs often hibernate during the winter months to survive. They find shelter in protected areas under rocks and logs or in the mud at the bottom of bodies of water where they can remain dormant until warmer temperatures return.
