I like to wear bright red, orange or yellow when I hike. Minimize confusion.

Known colors that attract bees.

I can confirm that wearing my neon lime HAZ shirt near bee swarming water fountains attracts 'em. I get stung a few times a year. None have been random. Rather when I unknowingly disturb them.

If the hiker has a fauna username, is the hunt fair game?

Desert bees and wasps are also quite fond of blue.

Hmmm, I always thought Bees were attracted to dark colors. I'm interested to know now, I'm more worried about bees than being mistaken for a turkey.

What would the world bee without the internet full of people spewing out misinformation based on something somebody told them that one time?

Should I fear for my life if I quite often hike with a turkey?

Depending on whose finger is on the trigger, you're in danger if you move, or if you stand very still. I don't think it's entirely safe to do either one.
