Yes, Queen honeybees have a smooth stinger, and can sting many times. However, a queen will rarely sting a person, for several reasons. 1) her job is not to defend the hive (the workers do that, and do it well, indeed.) and 2) her abdomen is so full of eggs, that she has difficulty curving it down to implant the sting. The primary use of her sting is to kill other, rival queens in the hive.
