I guess if they identify as fish then it’s fair enough.

Aquatic Bees! Bees of the Seas! Price of honey (salmon flavored) just went up.

Court Rules 'Highly Imperiled' Bumblebees Can Be First Insects Protected by California Law'With one out of every three bites of food we eat coming from a crop pollinated by bees, this court decision is critical to protecting our food supply,' says Center for Food Safety's Rebecca Spector. Wonderful news. Thank you for reporting on bees that aren't honey bees (which are not native to North America and which have a negative impact on our native bee populations).
