I do wear an apiarist suit yes, and sometimes I wear washing up gloves, more to stop the feel of the bees running over my fingers than anything else, because I'm not so worried about being stung, more to the point that bees crawling around the inside of your clothes is psychologically quite worrying.

Bees cannot be 'tamed' their mentality does not allow for it however, they can be 'domesticated' in the sense that bees can bred to become calmer and have the ability to recognise faces, for example, if I took you to my apiary, they would be more worried of you than I because they are used to my visiting.
How often do you visit your bees? And more importantly how often are you stung?
