This is hard to answer. First queen bees do not normally leave the hive and thus rarely have the opportunity to sting humans. Normally a queen only users her stinger to kill other queens to eleminate competition. A queens stinger has no barb. Female worker bees that defend the hive have barbed stingers. Their stingers pull free from the bee, remain in the skin and even work further in. And, their stinger continues to release venom after it is detached from the bee. Since a queen's stinger is smooth (no barb) this allows it to be kept after a sting and thus she can sting multiple times.

What is harming bees?

Bees can sting people and animals, but only if they are provoked or disturbed. If they are left alone bees are generally harmless. Bees (unless they are the aggressive Africanized bee) will only sting in self defence. In fact, they die if they sting, because their sting has a barb that remains in the person stung. The bee is damaged and dies. They are very important for their role in pollinating vegetable and fruit crops.

Bees do not hurt unless pain has been inflicted on them. However they don't have complex nerve systems like humans have so I imagine bees don't hurt as much as we do.
