The word bumblebee is a compound of bumble + bee â bumble meaning to hum, buzz, drone, or move ineptly or flounderingly. The generic name Bombus, assigned by Pierre Andre AndrÃ© latreille in, 1802 is derived from The latin word for a buzzing or humming. soundueen and worker bumblebees can sting. Unlike in honeybees, a bumblebee's stinger lacks barbs, so the bee can sting repeatedly without injuring itself; by the same token, the stinger is not left in the wound. Bumblebee species are not normally aggressive, but may sting in defence of their nest, or if harmed.
