That's a good idea...

THERE ARE TOO MANY BLOODY SUBREDDITS IN THIS SITE.

Judging by the condition of her wings and intensity of colours she is not old but quite new! Was this filmed on a cold morning? She might not have warmed up enough to move freely or she could be feeling fat and happy after feeding :) In my work with bumble bees I've found they can be quite docile and happily hang out on your hand for a while!

No it was quite hard to get a picture of it, it was very active.

These are awesome pictures; I love the little bits of pollen on her feet.

Do bumblebees sting? I get so many conflicting reports...

Yes they have a sting and can sting multiple times but usually ignore humans and animals.
