Basically, yes. Drones (males) don't have stings, and although the queen can sting, she rarely does and is never involved in guarding the hive.

After it emerges from the pupal cell, a young worker bees stays in the hive and performs various tasks as requried. At around 17 days old, the bee's venom glands have fully developed and at this stage the workers will become guard bees, guarding the hive entrance from unwanted intruders. During this time they will also take their first flights outside the hive to learn the local area. At around 21 days old, the worker will become a forager, a job it will do for the rest of its life.
