There is not a species of bee in the UK that bites as far as I am aware. Most bees rely on stings to defend themselves or their colony.

In the case of honey bees the queen only uses her sting to eliminate rival queens. You are also very unlikely to come across her unless you are a beekeeper as she spends nearly all of her life in the hive/nest. If she is part of swarm then she is usually near the centre of the mass of bees.
