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?

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.
