Bumble bees can sting, they can sting multiple times unlike regular bees and the stinger slides back out because there are no barbs however they will not sting nearly as often and regular bees either. Regular bees are much more defensive. It is supposed to be less painful however, again, they can sting multiple times.

depends on what regular bee you talking about. there is honeybees and bumble bees they are the only ones that sting.It would be the honeybee stings that hurt the most.
