Male hymenoptera, such as bees and wasps, do not sting because they lack a stinger. The stinger is a modified ovipositor, a structure used for laying eggs, which is present only in females. Since males do not need to lay eggs, they do not develop this feature. Instead, male hymenoptera typically rely on their size, strength, or other behaviors to compete for mates and defend their territory.
