Richard W. Stevens: California law allows the interpretation:
State regulations and directives that treat vital honey bees as enemies of bumble bees, and thus limit or reduce the number of already declining honey bee hives.
Just when you thought the “bees are fish” ruling was trivial silliness, you find that human food supplies and honey bee populations can both be reduced by the ruling – and the court sought to conceal that downside of its decision.
