I'd consult a constitutional (and tax) authority before I go get fitted for a body bag.

I was a constitutinal tax authority until 1987, continued doing research for attys. until early 2000's. If I make honey in Calif and remove that honey and sell in another State then the State can't tax that honey. If the contract is consumated outside the State and the farmer is renting my bees, outside the State, then if there is any tax, he can pay it. And the Calif. State tax collectors better [Constitutionally speaking] keep their butts in Calif. for they have no executive authority here in Texas. No warrant issued from a Calif. State Court has any authority here in Texas. Calif. can tax their 'subjects' all they want but they won't be taxing me.
But like I said, I won't be doing pollination contracts in Calif. because the legal battle just isn't worth it
