All bees you see flying around outside and visiting flowers are females. The males stay inside the hive until it's time for them to mate, and afterwards they die. Males have no stinger, no stripes on their black abdomen, which is also much fatter than a female's, and their eyes are much bigger, touching each other on top of their heads.

∙ 11y agoIf you see a bee on flowers collecting nectar it is a female. All worker bees are female. The drones (males) only live to mate with new queens and don't collect nectar or do any other work in the hive.

Only females can sting, as the barb is found in the same part that lays the eggs. The easiest way to tell male and female wasps apart is to look at their antennae - female wasps have shorter antennae. A good way to tell is whether the antennae hang close the the ground when the wasp is on a flat surface. This would be a male, and therefore not capable of stinging.
