Yes, they can -- and do!
Bees entering the hive are checked by the guard bees to see whether they belong to that colony. If an unrecognized bee is carrying nectar or pollen and behaves in a submissive manner when challenged, more than likely it will be allowed in. If it is carrying nothing, or if it doesn't submit then it will be repelled. If it persists, the guard bees will sting it and kill it.
