I love bumble bees! You can touch them lightly on their back and they are fine with it

I used to work in a greenhouse so I had bees buzzing all around me all the time.  They're completely fine to be around unless you hurt one.  However, now and then, we'd get a teenaged girl playing drama queen who would shriek and swat at them like she was being attacked.  It would make me so pissed off.

Are bees and bumblebees different things? I thought it was just shortened to bee sometimes because people were too lazy to say the bumble part.

There are many, many different species.  Bumble, Honey, Carpenter, and "Killer" are probably the most well known.
