I think this head is just great, it is really very well done. I hope that there will be more, because the Minotaur is really great. In any case, I would be very happy if one or the other would come.
Hari² Daniell nak main bunga api bila tiba musim raya ni. Bila dah habis je main; "Abi, besok abi beli lagi yea bunga api ni..."
Teringat la zaman saya kecik² dulu, memang minat ngan bunga api tu ada, dah sifat budak², segala yang menarik pasti nak cuba... Teringat pada tu semua, teringat jugalah pada keletah si Daniell ni haa, uhuu, bapak borek anak rintik :)

Western honey bee
Two of our neighbors keep bees; just across the street and next door to the south. The hot weather seems to have increased their water needs dramatically, something that would seem obvious but which I hadn't even considered. They have water near the hives but since the last few days have been in the '100's' they discovered our bird bath. We welcome them as we do most all creatures (excepting rattlers, black widow spiders and scorpions [and possibly roaches]).
The western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bee worldwide. The genus name Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera means "honey-bearing", referring to the species' tendency to produce a large quantity of honey for storage over the winter.
Like all honey bees, the western honey bee is eusocial, creating colonies with a single fertile female (or "queen"), many sterile females or "workers," and small proportion of fertile males or "drones." Individual colonies can house tens of thousands of bees. Colony activities are organized by complex communication between individuals, through both odors and the dance language.
The western honey bee was one of the first domesticated insects, and it is the primary species maintained by beekeepers to this day for both its honey production and pollination activities. With human assistance, the western honey bee now occupies every continent except Antarctica. Because of its wide cultivation, this species is the single most important pollinator for agriculture globally. A number of pests and diseases threaten the honey bee, especially colony collapse disorder.
Western honey bees are an important model organism in scientific studies, particularly in the fields of social evolution, learning, and memory; they are also used in studies of pesticide toxicity, to assess non-target impacts of commercial pesticides.

The sacred bull catacombs at Heliopolis, Saqqara, and Armant were among the holy sites visited by pilgrims. During festivals, visitors used to lay votive stelae to mark their visit to these locations and to show their gratitude.
