Not all ants have sting. Those species of ants that have a sting in the end of their abdomen can sting whether it is a worker or a queen. The only member of such species that can't sting is the male ant whose only purpose in the colony is to fertilise the queen or gyne during the nuptial swarm.

Do queen ants sting or bite?

Yes, Queen honeybees have a smooth stinger, and can sting many times. However, a queen will rarely sting a person, for several reasons. 1) her job is not to defend the hive (the workers do that, and do it well, indeed.) and 2) her abdomen is so full of eggs, that she has difficulty curving it down to implant the sting. The primary use of her sting is to kill other, rival queens in the hive.
