No. Bees sting by intentionally attacking the victim. When they do this, the stinger gets stuck in the victim, and tears a hole in the bee, so the bee dies. So bees don't try to attack unless they need to. But once a bee is dead, the stinger is useless, because the stinger has no momentum to get it into your skin.
