yes

According to Wikipedia, worker honey bees die after stinging a mammal once, due to its barbed stinger which becomes lodged in the 'victim's flesh, torn from the body of the honey bee. However the barbed stinger of the honey bee can safely withdraw after stinging another bee, thus leaving the honey bee alive to protect its hive again.

All others are capable of multiple stings, including yellow jackets, which have slightly barbed stings, and honey bee queens, which are not barbed at all.

Yes, honeybees die after stinging because their stingers are barbed and become embedded in the victim, ripping out their abdomen in the process. This causes the honeybee to die shortly after stinging.
