Worker bee stings are typically not fatal to humans, unless the person is allergic to bee venom. When a bee stings, it releases venom that causes mild to moderate pain, redness, and swelling at the sting site. In rare cases, an allergic reaction can occur, leading to more serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat, and a drop in blood pressure, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.

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.

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.
