because they don't need you to bother them , and they can get scared when you go to squash them which causes them to react and sting you to keep you away, just as you would if you were going to get squashed. They do it to protect themselves.

The question makes it sound as if bees deliberately fly towards humans. Usually they don't, you just happen to be in their way.

If you don't move they could well sting.
