Glitterbazzar

The Glitterbazzar is a Hive level dedicated to art and shops. It is not very sparkly which is ironic due to its namesake. Cricket noted that the shops are not organized in any way, merely squeezed into whatever space available. Jewel Hive is known for the Glitterbazzar. The Glitterbazzar is located one Hive level down from Cadelle's neighborhood. The tents and shops that could not be squeezed in are located around the hive under a silk canopy to keep it mostly dry in the rain.

Salvation Statue

The Salvation Statue is similar to the Salvation Mosaic in Cicada Hive, as it depicts a triumphant Queen Wasp, carved in stone, holding the Book of Clearsight into the sky while impaling a LeafWing - an abstract male LeafWing known as ’The Enemy' - below her through the heart with one of her wrist stingers. The statue represents . The Salvation Statue stands in the center of Glitterbazzar. The Jewel Hive Chrysalis used it as a way to communicate, via a message on a leaf tucked into a crack.

Raindrop Scales

Raindrop Scales is likely an art store or gallery run by Pinacate in the Jewel Hive. Raindrop Scales is supposedly one of the more recommended features of Jewel Hive, and it is only open during the rainy season.

Library

The Library is said to be the biggest library in all the hives, as it covers a whole Hive level. It includes large statue of Clearsight, her nose in an ordinary book. The Library was a occasional meeting place for the Jewel Hive Chrysalis.

Art Scene

Little is known about the art scene but Luna constantly talked about it with Swordtail. It can be assumed that it's a gallery of art hence it namesake.

History

The Hive Queen

Cricket, Sundew, Blue, and Swordtail sneak in and steal a cape and a squiggly headdress for Sundew to hide the fact she has no antennae. They then walk past a guard and a HiveWing who suggests going to Raindrop Scales, say that “Pinacate has a trillion ideas”. They then walk past the Salvation Statue.

Trivia

• The residents of the Jewel Hive including the SilkWings wear fancy outfits (a lot of jewels). These outfits include capes and headdresses, though apparently veils have gone out of fashion.
• Jewel Hive is the main setting for The Hive Queen.
