Yes, only the females sting. All worker bees are sterile females. Their stingers are barbed and are left in the wound after the bee stings. This is fatal to the bee, it only stings once then dies a rather painful death. The queen bee has a barbless stinger so can sting and not die but are very disinclined to do so for some reason.
