The only bees you'll see outside of the nest are females! The males are kept inside and only come out to mate with the queen, which only takes a day and is seldom seen.
Females are also the only ones to have a stinger, as a stinger is a modified ovipositor (used to lay eggs in case of the queen). Workers are sterile, and their ovipositor is used to inject venom instead of eggs.
