Yes.
The previous answers that suggest that a bumblebee can only sting once are incorrect. Bumblebees do not have barbed stingers like honeybees, so it does not kill a bumblebee to sting. (They do run out of venom however.)
Honeybees are reluctant to sting because it is lethal to them. Bumblebees are unlikely to sting because they are fairly good natured (compared to, say, wasps or hornets).

Yes, but it's a kamikaze move. Once a bumblebee stings, it goes off to die.

yeah, but only once. The ones to watch out for is wasps, hornets and a host of other insects that have multiple capabilities. Bee stings however are among the most painful.

Yes but it dies afterward because the stinger and usually the guts get pulled out.
