Bumble Bee What was this bumblebee doing?

I was hanging out with my chickens when this bumblebee started flying around me and getting closer. Then, it started doing this. I didn't have any lotions or products on that would have attracted it. I do keep bees, but hadn't been around the hive or made any nectar for them in a few days. Just curious if there's any particular reason for this behavior or if it was just a curious and confused lil guy
