Male carpenter bees do not sting, though females may in rare situations if provoked.

The claim that male carpenter bees do not sting is true, as they lack a stinger. Female carpenter bees, however, can sting, but only in rare situations when they are provoked. Generally, carpenter bees are not aggressive and will not sting unless threatened.
