  To add on for anyone who is lazy like me, the thing were Google summarizes says California has classified bees as fish under an environmental protection act. According to the first result (Reddit) it’s because fish is a catch all term in that law. Instead of listing all the animals they just use fish. Because fish,bees, and the other animals are all invertebrates.

  Now whoever reads this has three Lemmy comments, a reddit thread reference, and an ai overview reference as some solid sources

  This is like the whole, “triceratops didn’t exist, it’s just a young Torosaurus” thing all over again. My world can’t handle this!
