In theory, honey bees will sting anything that poses a threat to either a specific honey bee, or to the hive, including other insects, mammals, farm equipment, birds, clothing, etc. Stinging is their primary mode of defense. I have not heard of a specific case where a honey bee has stung a wood bee (or carpenter bee), but if a perceived threat from a carpenter bee was registered with one or more honey bees, or the hive, I have every reason to believe that honey bees would sting a carpenter bee. Incidentally, the opposite is also true, a carpenter bee could, in theory, sting a honey bee.

Are honeybees harmful?

A sting is what makes a honeybee harmful, but they won't sting unless they are provoked. Only female honeybees have stingers, are workers, and take up most of the population in the hive. But when a worker honeybee stings someone, it's fatal for them: After a worker bee stings someone, their stinger is deeply attached to the person; then when the honeybee tries to fly away, their abdomen gets torn out and it kills them.
