The sting of bees and wasps is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube), an organ that only females would have. For this reason males don't have stings.

Only honey bee workers die after they sting, and then only if they lose their stinger. This is because the honey bee's sting is barbed. All other bees have smooth stings so have no problem pulling them out again so they don't die after they sting.Drones (male bees or wasps) don't have stingers.

Yes, mason bees sting if they are female even though no, they do not if they are male.
