Bumblebees are eaten by other insects such as wasps (beewolves), and by some birds. Although experiments were conducted for humans eating honeybees (as protein), the bumblebee has not been studied as human food.
The breathing sacs of bumblebees can harbor the parasitic mite Locustacarus buchneri. In Europe, a greater threat to their hives is the Wax moth (Aphomia sociella) whose hatching larvae can destroy bumblebee nests.

Queen and worker bumblebees can sting. Unlike a honey bee's stinger, a bumblebee's stinger doesn't have barbs, so they can sting more than once. Bumblebees are not normally aggressive, but they will sting in defence of their nest, or if they are harmed.
Yes, hornets are known to prey on bumblebees. They can capture and kill bumblebees to feed on their bodies or even bring them back to their nests to feed their young. This behavior is more common in certain hornet species, such as the Asian giant hornet.
Bumblebees have a fuzzy body to collect and distribute pollen, long tongues to reach nectar in flowers, powerful wings that allow them to fly fast and maneuver well, and complex social structures with a queen leading the colony.
Bumblebees make nests unlike honeybees: They will nest (temporarily) in the oddest places: Like that coat you left hanging in the work shed since early last spring- they might just nest in the pocket!

Snapdragons attract bumblebees by olfactory signals (scent). It is also known that bumblebees are attracted to certain colors of plants
