Golden Hive

"- Ichabod: Do you know where Christine is? Where is she!? - Hexagon Cultist: Look around! She's EVERYWHERE!"

- Ichabod and a Hexagon Cultist during Christine's first attack after her revival The Golden Hive of Hexagon (or just the Golden Hive) is an apocalyptic cult loyal to the Shadow Warriors and later its finalized evolved form, the United Kingdom of America. Led by a revived Christine Van Bilj and acted as a spiritual successor to the Order of Blood Moon with Christine as the new Supreme Witch of Darkness. They first apepars as the main antagonistic faction of Golden Hive Arc, the very first sub arc of LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow - War Arc.

After Christine's revival, the Golden Hive of Hexagon takes its full form. It runs with a mode resembles the Absolute Monarcy, with Christine rules the lower members as the queen of their "hive" with her own mind, treating them as her tools. After Christine was splited in two halves, the evil Christine maintained the control towards the Golden Hive, while her good counterpart, Kristen Kiwifruit, had no abilities to control the cultists.

Golden Hive Arc
The Golden Hive shapes itself soon after the death of Christine, as her army's attack against the Enchanted Forest (portrayed offscreen but was later revealed by Glario and Lumino) had casued bad influence in the forest, making many people and creatures infected with the bee toxin, turning into fanatic supporters of Christine.

Because of the death of Christine at the hands of Ichabod Crane, Abbie Mills and their allies, the cult remained leaderless but still caused effects in many places in Fairy Tale world including Oz and Arendelle. There are even some people in Sleepy Hollow fell into Christine's dark magical influence and started to commit murder with poison in syringes, in a manner of bee stings.

After her revival, Christine soon joined the Horseman of War and called up her admirers and followers, urging them to cause chaos in Sleepy Hollow once more to make it a place ruled by her, while she herself was seizing the chance to find the 30 Tyrian shekels hiding amongst the town.

Their plan, however, came to a fall by the end of the sub arc when Ichabod managed to erase all those curses on the remaining Tyrian shekels and melted them, saving those under the control of coins from their possession. However, unlike the last time when she lost her body and her possessed minions, Christine managed to retreat alive with her remaining minions, vowing to meet Ichabod once again for she had reborn.

Christine's note (written one day before the Battle of Trenton)
''Ever since I saw a beehive in front of my house when I was small, I began to fanatically study in bees and hornets. From my research, the society mode of bees suits that of humans. Inside every nest, there will be a queen keeping order, ruling "her" workers and soldiers like a slaveholder.''

''Those servants of the queen are always preparing to sacrifise themselves for the queen. A queen of bees should be unique, and if there are two or more queen bees spawned in the same time, they'll fight to their death until one of them survived. After all, strong rules the weak, and this is the law of jungle.''

''When the queen dies with no heir, the entire hive society will fall apart. Therefore, bees need a strong ruler to maintain order, much less humans. After years serving in the Order of Blood Moon, I achieved what my grandfather and my father had been dreaming for days, creating a toxin that can turn human into bee monsters. The person who perfectly merges with it shall evolve slowly into the Queen, turning the society into a human hive and controlling those who was infected by the toxin and failed to made it.''

''Believing it to be the remedy against the plague of Patroits, I was so excided to share my discovery with my father, and ironically, he became its first victim and left me a broken woman. He was so weak that the toxin twisted his appearance and his mind. I had to chain him underneath the chamber of my manor, believing it will make him feel better... or at least make me to feel better.''

''Now, this is the moment. I'm using myself as the subject. I need to put myself in a deep sleep like death for a long, long time. When the time I resurrect, I will create my own world on this Earth. My people will carry the toxin around the globe. At that moment, all of those creatures shall sucubb to me. The enviroment itself will be my own hive with me as its queen...''

Fascinating.
