Honey bee workers are the only ones that have barbed stings. If they are unable to withdraw the sting after stinging they will leave it behind. This causes severe internal injuries and the bee will die from those injuries. All other bees have smooth stings and have no difficulty withdrawing them.
An additional point is that it is only the females that sting, not the males. The sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube), an organ that males do not have.

Why do bees die when they lose their stinger?
Generally, only honey bee workers die after stinging because their sting is barbed. Stings originally evolved to be used against other insects, and when they are they just punch a hole in the victim's exoskeleton and the bee has no trouble getting the sting back out. When it stings an animal or human the elastic skin closes around the sting and grips it. The sting mechanism is not firmly attached to the bee's abdomen so when it pulls away it leaves the sting behind together with the venom sac and the muscles to pump the venom. Unfortunately for the bee this causes other internal injuries, and the bee dies from these injuries.Other bees, such as bumble bees, have stings which are not barbed so they can easily be withdrawn from the skin.
