Don't get stung by a fish....

Ah, but what gender are they and is their lived experience mean they really are fish and not insects?

[Mississippi Bullfrog]

So I'm a fishkeeper now?

 

Does this means all spineless things are now fish? That makes No 10 the biggest aquarium in London.

I'd class our pm less as a fish which has a spine as more like a worm which is really spineless.

I don't see what the problem is with this, albeit odd sounding decision. If there is no specific legislation for the protection of important insects then why not just attach it to legislation already in place?

 

Males an attention grabbing headline. but that's about it.

 

Wild bees just like every other important insect species are heading for extinction and they will be followed by every plant species that depends on them and then every animal species that depends on those plants. tick tock.

There is no problem apart from calling bees fish instead of having a system that would just protect them as the species they are.

Not something I care about.. isn't it more likely to be a journalistic spin on a decision?

I'll just throw in here that when I started with bees my first hive was double brood. That's upwards of 80,000 bees in a single colony.

 

That's comparable to, say, someone passing their motorcycle test and buying a 1000cc bike.

If you called that bike a fish no one would bat an eye lid

Do fish have eyelids? I'm sure bats do.

Don't know, I will watch YouTube videos and read up on it and become an expert and what ever you think will be wrong

I think that depends what they are identifying as at the time?
