Unlikely. Bees and wasps only sting as a defence, if cornered, and since the only birds likely to corner one are the ones that eat them, they'll be imune to the stings anyway.

Whilst out walking, in fairly rough grassland, I came across a wasp nest that had been dug out and largely eaten by something. A hedgehog or badger, I'd guess, But can you imagine the fury of the wasps?! How many stings would whatever was digging got? On its nose and face, as well, you'd think.

Badgers are known to dig out bees for the honey and wasps for the young grubs and not put off by the stings.
