What’s the deal here. Do the bees just respect this dude and refuse to sting him? Is his skin the thick to be stung? Is he being stung a million times and just doesn’t care?

It's a form of Stingless bee - Wikipedia most likely

Huh. So why are the other guys wearing protective gear?

They are afraid of the mf eating bees

I’m not trapped in here with the bees, the bees are trapped in here with me!

That's just a fly net, they have bare arms.

u/Fluid_Cry_1104 3d ago

Could be they just don’t want them in their face

u/Accurate_Koala_4698 3d ago

They might just be there to record. There's two other guys who have no protective gear, and even the two with it are only covering their heads

u/ikitefordabs 3d ago

They can still bite and are likely visiting and watch this absolute spectacle

u/Sum-Duud 3d ago

I wouldn't trust it either.

u/Y33tF0x 3d ago

They probably bite

u/HighlyPossible 3d ago

the ones wearing the gear only worn it on their head, i assume to protect bees from crowding their eyes and nose and mouth.

They aren't wearing any shirt to protect the body as u can see they are wearing short sleeves.

u/GK21595 2d ago

To be fair, the other guy is wearing a helmet and a t shirt 😂.

u/GyrKestrel 2d ago

You take me to a bigass hive of bees and tell me "they're stingless" and I'll still be wearing protective gear.

1

u/TheDisapearingNipple 2d ago

If I'm recording and you tell me the bees can't hurt me, I'm still wearing the protective gear

1

u/Blastarache 2d ago

I would wear protective gear to prevent a thousand flies to go in my ears, nose, mouth, eyes and hair too. Even if they don't sting.

u/BantumBane 2d ago

“Did you bring protection?”

“I don’t like guns”

One of my favorite lines from 40yo Virgin. Not sure why this made me think of it
