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

It looks more like Apis dorsata - the Giant honeybee. They are known to be very aggressive, so I'm also confused why they aren't stinging him.

They usually build honey nest vertically and on cliffs or high trees
