Hm… As far as I know, bumbles live in the ground, they don’t make the kind of nests. Wasps and hornets do that.
Don’t know about the stingers. With honeybees males definitely have stingers, cause the female ones are few and kept safe by males. Then again, bumbles don’t have hives as such…
When a honeybee stings, its stinger stays behind, along with the poison sac. Often (but not always) the sac will also pull out the bee’s guts (what little there are in an insect that small), killing the creature. So Ramón is correct, sort of.

I wish real live bees warned you, and only stung you to teach you a valuable lesson, instead of chasing you around picnics

Looks like a bumble – they don’t die. Only honeybees die.

I agree with Ridger. Either way, she’s not a guy. :) Male bumbles don’t have stingers. Or you know, do much.
Hee hee, BEEEEEE!!! I <3 bees.
