Hive

The Hive is the starting location for all players in Killer Queen, regardless of whether they are playing as a drone or a Queen. This location is highlighted at the beginning of every match. When drones are destroyed, they will respawn at this location infinitely.

Three eggs also outline the location of each team's hive. These eggs represent the Queen's three lives. One egg hatches at the beginning of every match. Every time a Queen is killed, a new egg will hatch until there are no eggs remaining. When either team's final Queen is killed, a Military Victory is awarded to the opposing team.

The hive also features drone-sized openings into which Pollen must be deposited. After a drone departs the hive, returning to the hive and touching any empty opening while holding Pollen will allow the drone to climb into the opening, deposit the Pollen, and crawl back out of a different opening. Once all of the openings of one team's hive have been filled with Pollen, an Economic Victory is awarded to that team.
