No, the queen won't sting workers. The only thing a queen will directly attack is another queen.

Do queen ants sting or bite?

Yes, Queen honeybees have a smooth stinger, and can sting many times. However, a queen will rarely sting a person, for several reasons. 1) her job is not to defend the hive (the workers do that, and do it well, indeed.) and 2) her abdomen is so full of eggs, that she has difficulty curving it down to implant the sting. The primary use of her sting is to kill other, rival queens in the hive.

The females (queen and workers) of most varieties of bee can sting. No males (drones) of any species can sting because the sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube) -- an organ that males do not have.There are a few varieties of bee that do not have stings at all. These are mostly solitary bees.

Can male bee sing?

No, male bees (drones) do not have a sting. Worker bees (all female) have a barbed sting which is left behind when the bee stings. The bee will then die. The queen bee has a smooth sting which she can withdraw, so she is able to sting more than once.


What type of bee can you die from a queen bee a worker bee or a drone bee?

It depends on whether you have an allergic reaction to bee stings or not. If you are, a sting could kill, but it's very unlikely. That said, only workers can sting, as drones and queens don't have stingers. A stinger is a modified ovipositor (egg-laying tube), so obviously the drones (males) wouldn't have one. The queen uses hers to actually lay eggs, and has no venom. That just leaves the sterile female workers. Those do make up the main part of the population and are pretty much the only ones to leave the hive, so.
