No, the black bees of Vista, California, do not sting if they are male carpenter bees even though yes, they do sting if they are European dark bees. The female carpenter bee (Xylocarpa spp) has a stinger that tends not to be used unless hand-trapped or provoked. European dark bees (Apis mellifera mellifera) tend to use their stingers more against predatory wasps than against beekeepers and gardeners.
