Yes. All worker bees are females. The males are the drones, and they do no work in the hive, nor do they forage for food.

The friendliest bees in a hive are the drones (males), because they don't have a stinger. Otherwise, any bee will sting something close to her if she feels it is threatening her colony. However, nurse bees rarely leave the hive, and the ones that are most likely to sting you when you get too close to their home are the older bees whose job it is to defend the hive.
