Yes, actually, they do sting, but it's not particularly serious for most people. See the attached sites for specifics. "South Australia has the highest mortality rate from bee stings of all the Australian States, with a recorded fatality rate of 0.26/1 000 000 population per year. As in other surveys, fatalities occur predominantly in men over 40 years of age, which suggests that there may be other contributory risk factors, for example, coronary atherosclerosis. No deaths were reported in individuals aged from six to 19 years, the age group in which bee-sting anaphylaxis is particularly common." (PMID: 6694624 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE])
