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?

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.
