3. Only the worker bees have stingers and they are all female. |

Only the drones, who don't have stingers, mate with the queen.

5. And the drones die right after mating. |
|
A drone's life reads better than it lives.
For the record a virgin queen can and does sting. It's how she gets rid of her rivals. As soon as the first virgin queen hatches, she goes around and stings to death the other developing queens.
