Re: Does it Bite (or sting or be horrid to me anyway?

[quote=Imaginos]BUMBLEBEES. Can bite and sting, but rarely do even when handled. Like wasps, but unlike honeybees they do not lose their stings once they have stung. The queens have powerful jaws and are more likely to bite than sting.

It is only the females that can sting, the males have no stinging parts..................Jon
