Really, if I were going to worry about any stings, I would be concerned about yellow jackets, which are much more aggressive than bees anyday, and which can sting multiple times. The queen overwinters and then establishes a new nest...IN THE GROUND! She will usually seek out old mole or groundhog burrows. When I was a landscaper, I probably stepped on ten yellow jacket hives, and believe me, this is something I do not recommend. I always walk my yard in early May to look for them. You can see them coming and going from the nest.

These are definitely bees with attitudes. I had a big problem with them at my house. They built a nest in the external dryer vent door. And they went after the kids everytime they went into the backyard to play.
Me? I go after them. I took a garden house, a fly swater, and let'em have it. They got a couple of stings on me, but I left piles of bee carcasses lying everywhere too.
