Yep, lots of bees and wasps do this because they don't actually want to sting defensively if it can be avoided, so they are merely trying to intimidate a potential threat. Unfortunately, it's very common for people to panic and behave erratically in response, and that tends to make the critters feel like they are in danger, so they do end up stinging. It basically becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.
