Do bummble bees sting?
Yes, bumblebees are capable of stinging, but they are less likely to sting compared to other bees because they are generally non-aggressive. Bumblebees will only sting if they feel threatened or their nest is disturbed. If stung, the bumblebee will die as their stingers are barbed and are ripped from their bodies upon stinging.

Do wasps leave a stinger?
Worker honey bees are the only insects with a barbed sting. All other stinging insects (including honey bee queens) have smooth stingers and can withdraw them after use. Not true see common myths of stinging insects in the related links below.
Do honeybees sting woodbees?
In theory, honey bees will sting anything that poses a threat to either a specific honey bee, or to the hive, including other insects, mammals, farm equipment, birds, clothing, etc. Stinging is their primary mode of defense. I have not heard of a specific case where a honey bee has stung a wood bee (or carpenter bee), but if a perceived threat from a carpenter bee was registered with one or more honey bees, or the hive, I have every reason to believe that honey bees would sting a carpenter bee. Incidentally, the opposite is also true, a carpenter bee could, in theory, sting a honey bee.
Are there female bees around besides the queen bee?
It used to be thought that the queen bee ruled the hive, rather like human monarchs, though this is not really true. The queen is not the only female in the hive: all worker bees are female, though the queen is the only one that lays eggs.
When queen bees dies what happens to other bees in the hive?
When a queen bee dies, the other bees in the hive will typically create a new queen. They will select a young larva and begin feeding it royal jelly to develop it into a queen. This process ensures that the hive can continue functioning and producing new bees.

Is it true that bees cannot fly or should not be able to?
No. The laws of flight as we understand them explain insect flight, including that of bees, perfectly well. The idea that bees should not be able to fly stems from an instance in the 1930s when one scientist jokingly demonstrated that bees cannot fly if you apply the calculations for a fixed-wing object like an airplane. Insects generate lift using different mechanisms than airplanes or birds do, but methods that scientists nonetheless understand.
