This is why I disagree with recreational lawmaking. If you employ a bunch of people whose only job is to make laws, you soon end up with a bunch of absurd laws like this, just because someone got stung by a bee once and a politician decided it would make for a handy Facebook ad in their next campaign. And before you know it, you can't move a finger without breaking one of the ten million laws that govern your every action. No one wants this and yet somehow we've ended up with it.
