Worker bees will respond to any intrusion that they perceive as a threat to their hive or colony. That obviously includes any person, animal or insect attempting to remove their honey - which the bees need to live on. For example, you will often see a wasp being attacked at the entrance to a hive as the wasp tries to get in to steal honey.
Beekeepers use a variety of methods to enable them to remove the honey from a hive without being attacked. One of the key ways is by inserting a board, just under the top box of a hive, with a sort of one-way entrance in it. Once the bees leave that box they are unable to get back in. Thus the beekeeper is able to remove the box of honey with most, if not all, of the bees gone from it.

Do honey comb bees sting?
Yes, however, the stinger is actually a modified ovipositor. An ovipositor is the body part, or device a queen bee uses to lay eggs. She can also use it as a stinger. Worker bees can also sting, meaning worker bees are also female. Their stinger is an ovipositor. Most worker bees never lay eggs, but occasionally a worker can become a "laying worker." In most cases she has not been fertilized, and non-fertilized eggs become drones. Drones are male bees and, being male, they have no ovipositor and cannot sting.

Why can't a honeybee sting you twice?
The first time it stings you, its stinger comes off, usually stuck in your skin. A bee's sting has barbs at its tip, so that it cannot be pulled out as easily. When the bee frees itself from the sting, much of its organs are pulled out with it, and so the bee will soon die.
Can worker bees sting?
