Bees sting for the same reason that wolves bite and horses kick. It is their defence mechanism; their means of protecting themselves and their hive.
A bee will sting when it feels threatened.
Bees are generally docile. If one flies near you it is very unlikely to sting if you don't make sudden movements towards it, so don't try to swat it away. It will soon lose interest in you and fly away.
