Default Bee deterrent?

Puzzling, isn't it? Presumably the bees feel threatened by these
people, but it's hard to know how. It's not as if they're biting
insects like mosquitoes, tucking into someone unusually tasty. In the
case of 'my' gent, it's unlikely to be a defensive sting so, presumably,
it's purely offensive (seemingly without provocation) ... but for what
reason?? Does Nick's dad annoy them in some way?


Nick is of the opinion that his dad flaps his arms about at them.
