It can happen. They won't sting members of their own colony, but if bees from another colony try to enter the hive to steal the honey the guard bees will sting them.

In sufficient quantities soapy water will kill any bee because it will drown. It makes no difference whether they are africanized or not. There has been a lot of fear drummed up about africanized bees by the sensationalist media. They look no different from a European honey bee and their sting is no worse. The problem is they are far more defensive and sting more readily.
Does the queen bees sting hurt more than other bees?
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.
