  Don't worry about being stung, the bumblebee is not an aggressive species. I have actually touched them, although I would not recommend this. The only time that they are aggressive is when they are defending their nest.
  The nest looks like a lotus pod when in exposed dirt.

  I am always brushing them away from my camera as they fly around me. So I am confident that they won't sting the hand that feeds them!
