You can pet a bumblebee by attracting it and letting it feed on the palm of your hand. It's safe to gently use a finger to stroke the bee. However, a bee's sudden movement may cause you to accidentally touch its bottom or stinger. It's easier to attempt petting male bumblebees rather than female ones. Male bees do not have stingers. They also tend to be more docile than females. However, they will exhibit defensive behaviours such as lying on their backs if they feel disturbed by you.

There are instances of bumblebees befriending humans. They can even recognize faces if they’re exposed to them repeatedly.

You can pet a bumblebee while it is collecting nectar. Some pet bumblebees by offering them sugar water from their hands.

Thank you!

 Lynar! It’s great to see you again! And that’s an awesome fact

In mythology, bees could sniff out royalty. There are several cases of mistaken identity in fairy tales and the true prince or princess is often found by asking the bees. 

That's un-bee-lievable!

 My absense has something to do with the fact that I mistakenly thought the forums had been brought down.

But otherwise:

Honey bees may be more difficult to pet than bumblebees. Honey bees are more flighty and skittish. They are also smaller than bumblebees, so the chances of hurting the honey bee while petting it are higher,

Do Honey Bees Like to Be Stroked?

Honey bees are social creatures like bumblebees and can become accustomed to humans as well. Rather than stroking a honeybee, it would be safer for you and the bee if you hold it in your palm instead. You may find a bee resting on a flower which would make it easy to pick them up.

 Love the facts, and welcome back

I wish I could roleplay right now. But I am as busy as a bee.

 A relief carving dating from the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt shows the practice of collecting and sealing honey. An old poem thus describes the dawn:

"When the Sun rises, the lotus flower opens

And Frees the bees from their prison."

When Lower and Upper Egypt became one nation a reference is made to this union.

"He hath united the two lands,

He hath joined the Reed to the Bee"

Reed being Upper Egypt and Bee beeing Lower Eygpt. (Hallman)
