Especially when he dealt with two speedsters faster than Ay? Bee reacted because he was watching them fight from afar. It's much easier to read an opponent by watching them fight, rather than actually fighting them.

Also Minato was never going to hit Bee. He was proving a point to Ay. He was telling Ay he wasn't paying attention to what was important. If Minato was really going for the kill, he wouldn't have tried to telegraph his moves so hard for Ay.

Also, Ay was confident that he could kill Minato. But then conceded that Minato was his better. In the 4th War, he stated that no one had ever surpassed Minato at that point.
