I agree. I do not associate these figures with Halloween at all.

| Hello again everybody,
We mentioned last week that we were looking for a new Inventories Admin, and
I'm announcing today that we have appointed Randy (user randyf) to this position.
Randy is a very well-known contributor to the catalog, a frequent participant
in Forum discussions, and pretty much a person we couldn't imagine BrickLink
being without. He has contributed a large number of color-adjusted Lego part
renders which have helped define the look of BrickLink for the next generation.
And his work with PCCs is unmatched.
We are pleased and excited to extend these admin privileges to Randy and to welcome
him to our admin team.
Russell

Congratulations to Randy and BrickLink, another great addition to the team of
volunteers!

Yes, in fact I suggested it once myself. Then someone pointed out that some
of these names are rather convoluted and silly. Our names are better, but I
would like to include the official colors names on or color chart for cross-reference.
|
Please do not ever consider switching to using the official LEGO color names
here. They are indeed *very* convoluted and silly. For examples: BL Tan is LEGO
Brick Yellow, BL Magenta is LEGO Bright Reddish Violet, and BL Brown is LEGO
Earth Orange. Just those three alone make me wonder what TLG was thinking (or
smoking?) when naming colors.
Cheers,
Randy

I still think my suggestion would work:

If you do have a comment/suggestion on where these parts are going, please suggest
an alternative location. Before you comment, look at the situation carefully
and present a good argument about why the proposed category is inappropriate.
Parts:
Beehive - move to Cone
|
I think 'Animal - Air' might be better for this, but that's just
a thought.
|
Or Minifigure, Utensil
|
Could be if it was beehive made by human like this on photo. This one is definitly
made by bees themselves.
|
To me, it looks most like something that Disney uses in their cartoons. I have
never seen a natural bee colony looking like these.
I assumed that they were based on some idea of the older straw hives mixed with
a wasp nest. If there is any species building these, I'd like to see an image

LEGO calls part 35574 "MINI HAT, NO. 54" so that would be Minifigure, Headgear
We might need to rename the part after its completely different use in set 10261-1
