I assume to distinguish Red Hat-blessed kernels from home-built kernels.
There's a comment in the spec file indicating something along those
lines:
#
# Polite request for people who spin their own kernel rpms:
# please modify the "release" field in a way that identifies
# that the kernel isn't the stock distribution kernel, for example by
# adding some text to the end of the version number.

[...]
%define rhbsys %([ -r /etc/beehive-root ] && echo || echo .`whoami`)
%define release %(R="$Revision: 1.339 $"; RR="${R##: }"; echo ${RR%%?})%{rhbsys}
--L
