If I was guessing, I would say that just like when wasps are in distress they release a pheromone that attracts other wasps to come to their aid, the Bumble bee probably has a similar facility. Not sure that the spider actually wanted the bee in it's web either more likely it would try and sever the web to get it out.

#2 I don't see any reason why a spider wouldn't want a bumblebee, I used to stun wasps and throw them into a spiders web, and the spiders didn't mind them, also centipedes. I wouldn't do it to a kind and gentle creature like a bumblebee, I don't care to find out, I'm glad the bumblebee got rescued by it's kin, I like them even more now.

I didn't even know bumblebees could sting! I was taught that they had hooks on the legs that caused a burning sensation. I've never been stung or hit by a bumblebee, they're always so peaceful and minding their own business - unlike wasps and hornets, who will hunt you down on sight.
