Male bees, or drones, do not have a sting. In bees, wasps and similar insects the sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube) -- an organ that males do not have.

Only honey bee workers die after they sting, and then only if they lose their stinger. This is because the honey bee's sting is barbed. All other bees have smooth stings so have no problem pulling them out again so they don't die after they sting.Drones (male bees or wasps) don't have stingers.

Do mason bees sting?

Yes, mason bees sting if they are female even though no, they do not if they are male. Female mason bees sting, less painfully than honey bee or wasp stings, only if they're in serious danger, such as being trapped in clothing or getting purposely caught in the hand. Male mason bees have male genitalia instead of an ovipositor, and therefore they cannot sting.
