Sadly this fact won't stop people from trying to paint California as some kooky place where everyone thinks bees are fish.


Not everyone - only the geniuses in the legislature think bees are fish.


Except they don't. "Fish" in this context is a term of art, clearly defined in the legislation. If the people who wrote this legislation actually believed bees were fish, then they would not have gone out of their way to provide such a clear and specific definition of the term for the purposes of this legal document.

To the lay person, legalese often sounds silly, but it is not without purpose or direction.
