Is it possible to make Xbee ZB (or 2 series) be able to send commands to DS18B20 temperature sensor and read data from it without arduino connected?
To be more clear here is what i am trying to do: a remote temperature sensor that will have xbee chip with temp sensor on one end sending the temperature data to the arduino and xbee on another end. The trick though it can't be series 1 it has to be either over Zig Bee protocol or series 2 (DigiMesh)....

The short answer is no.
The XBee is a wireless transceiver only . . . you will still need an Arduino or other comparable microcontroller to connect to your temperature sensor and then send the data to your base station via the XBee.
In the case of a DS18B20 no. That sensor uses OneWire and the Xbee doesn't support that. However, if you're not tied to that sensor you could have a look at Xbee Wireless Temperature Sensor - adafruit industries. This discusses how to use a TMP36 and an Xbee as a temperature transmitter, no microcontroller required. I've tried it and it works a treat.

Thank you guys
You may be able to bit-bang the one-wire interface using the API
of the XBee. Could be a PITA 
I have been meaning to try to bit-bang an I2C interface to take advantage of the many I2C peripherals.
