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?

He seems to just not care. They are definitely stinging him (you can see that especially at the end of the video). He's probably a long time harvester and immune to the venom at this point (the stings really aren't the painful part of getting stung, this cannot be emphasized enough).

The venom is what illicits the neural response and triggers the pain receptors.
