Males? No. Males cannot sting because a stinger is a modified ovipositor. In the queen, this is used to lay eggs, but in the sterile workers it's used to inject venom. This is also one of the reasons they're sterile. You can't lay eggs and venom at the same time. :P
Males have no ovipositor, so they can't have a stinger either. They're completely defenseless (I've handled some, they're really cute) and stay in the hive until it's time for them to try and mate with the queen in midair. After that, they die anyway.
