Bees are FISH???

The Court of Appeals in the California’s third appellate district has ruled that bees are, in fact, fish.

What?? How??

Apparently California’s 1970 endangered species law explicitly protected “fish,” which were initially defined to include invertebrates.

And because the act has previously protected snails and other invertebrates that live on land, as well as in water, the latest ruling said it interpreted the legislation to also include bees.


On a more serious note, the court decision is a good thing in that it opens the door for protection of insects as endangered species
