It can happen. They won't sting members of their own colony, but if bees from another colony try to enter the hive to steal the honey the guard bees will sting them.
A newly-emerged queen will go around the hive looking for other queen cells. If she finds any she will sting through the cell walls to kill the developing queen inside them.

What is the impact honey bees and humans have on each other?
Human can use bees to pollinate crops and there garden.
Do bees puke up the honey?
Actually, ... yes. When bees collect nectar they put it in a special storage stomach. When they return to the hive, they transfer the nectar stomach mixture to other bees for further processing. (Yup; honey bees eat each other’s puke.) Enzymes in the bee’s storage stomach help turn the nectar into honey. This all may sound gross, but honey is yummy and a very healthy human food.
Do bees and wasps fight?
In the open bees and wasps will tend to ignore each other, but if a wasp tries to enter a bee hive and does not immediately back out, the guard bees will probably sting it to death. A concerted attack on a bee hive by a large number of wasps in order to get to the honey stores may succeed and many bees and wasps will die in the resulting fight.
Why are the honey bees dying?
Scienctist's say it's because theres some sort of disease in the air so there trying to keep bees away from each other so others don't catch it, that's why it's good to have hives in your gardens.
How do bees communicate with each other?

Can bees kill?
yes if you are allergic or if you receive a lot of stings. Each sting increases your chances of a fatal reaction. Killer bees are a more aggressive strain of honey bee so it is more likely you will receive multiple stings.
Do bees sting other bugs?
Yes. Wasps and hornets can sting, so can ants.
What is the same about bees ants and nettles?
The biggest thing they have in common is that they all sting, and in each case the sting contains formic acid.
How do honey bees avoid their predators?
Flying, sheltering and stinging are ways in which honey bees avoid predators.Specifically, the insect in question (Apis spp) can respond to predation in one of three ways. A honey bee may choose to either out-fly a predator or seek shelter in a leafy hideaway or the hive. A third option would be standing ground to wield a fearsome stinger.
What are two reasons honey bees are beneficial?
every spring and summer,bees produce over 10,000 pounds of honey each year. but scientific studies show that bees don't accutally eat honey. they just invent it. so every year we get lots of honey!another way bees are very benificial is that flowers can't survive without them.the pollen in the the flowers NEEDS to be taken out in order for it to grow. so because of bees we have flowers and honey.

Do insects talk with each other?
no Yes, but not with speech. For example, honey bees do an elaborate dance to communicate where the best flowers for pollen are located to their hivemates.
Where do queen honey bees go to meet?
They don't. Queen bees don't normally leave the hive, and there is only one in each hive.
How does honey bees produce honey?
This is a long and amazing "work-journey" of Honey-bees (which are the only type of bees making honey). Honey-bees get nectar by the flowers, and once their stomach is full (after visiting up to 150 flowers); this bee (called worker-bee) turns back to the nest or hive. While getting back to nest, an enzyme (produced by bees) is added to the nectar in order to break the complex plant sugar down into glucose and fructose (easily digested by the bees). When the bees are already in the nest or hive; the nectar will be delivered through their mouths and stored in the honeycomb cells; where the evaporation of moisture will start (bees will fan the nectar with their wings to speed up the drying process). After the nectar will be dried up, each worker bee will seal the upper part of each cell with a thin beeswax cap (which is the place where the honey is stored until we get it to eat).

Do the different bees fight with other bees?
There is not usually any fighting within the hive, but any bee trying to steal honey from another hive will be either killed or driven out.
