Bumblebees don’t sting.
I have to give mom a pass for this one, though. The bumblebees in our yard were huge. It kept me from freaking out, which was probably for the best. Unfortunately, I believed it into my 40s, and repeated it a few times.
They are pretty docile as long as you don’t trap them against your skin or threaten their hive. They will bump you if they want you to leave, though.
Yeah. I was a toddler losing my shit. My little brain couldn’t handle subtleties. Bees=sting was all I could manage.
