i don't think so but i'm not exactly sure. i caught one for a bug collection so i've done a bit of research on them. the one i caught has the biggest stinger i've ever seen! :/ hope this helped
No they actually use a type of mimicry called Batesian Mimicry to fool it's predators and keep themselves alive. When they fool predators the predators believe the species is venomous. It happened to our girl scout troop once when we were camping. When we came home later we found out that the bees were actually very harmless.
Edit: I have to respectfully disagree. Firstly the term "Cuckoo bee" seems to refer to a whole host of insects so what I say next may only apply to some species and possibly even just to the males or females of some species.
I found a cuckoo bee in our pool at home. I tried to rescue it and was thanked by being stung reasonably painfully on my finger. So they CAN sting. I released the bee nonetheless and it promptly flew into spider web and when I checked on it later, it had been dragged into a recess behind the web for dinner no doubt. Karma!
A cuckoo wasp does not sting people. Cuckoo wasps do bite people when they feel threatened, but are normally pretty docile.
In general, no. But there is a species of Bumble Bee called the Cuckoo Bumble Bee (Bombus vestalis) that is parasitic on existing nests, and will kill by stinging, the original queen.
Bumble bees have stings, and will use them if provoked.
Only female bees can sting.

Drone (male) bees cannot sting.
No, all bees sting, big or small.

No. Bees only sting when they are in an agitated state.
Yes and No because girl bees can only sting
Bees will sting any thing so yes.
A bee does not sting itself, but a wasp sometimes will. Bees will sting other bees if they are fighting.
Bees sting.
