At the end of _Strike Witches_ , not only did the Warlock destroy all the
Neuroi (including the humanoid one), but after the Warlock's destruction, the
Black Neuroi Hive disappeared.

However, at the start of _Strike Witches 2_ which begins slightly before the
final scene of the previous season (where Yoshika receives a second letter
from her father), the 504th is sent to a Black Neuroi Hive where a Humanoid
Neuroi was waiting in a hope to strike peace with the Neuroi. However, the
Humanoid Neuroi was destroyed by an attack from the Green Neuroi Hive and
subsequently, the Black Hive is never seen again.

Now the second season affirms the ending of the first season (Gallia being
freed, the Warlock turning into a Neuroi and losing control), so I am
wondering was there two Black Neuroi Hives and if so, where was the second
one?

Were there two Black Neuroi Hives?


**Yes, there's another Black Neuroi Hive that was destroyed at the beginning
of _Strike Witches 2._**

According to a more general question asking the total number of hives on
[Yahoo! Chiebukuro
(Japanese)](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q12100997307),
which was answered by mr_hungry01:

The [Wikia](http://strikewitches.wikia.com/wiki/Neuroi) also mentions this:

> As of 1945, Neuroi hives have been confirmed in the following regions.

>   * [...]
>   * **South Karlsland** \- apparently located near the Rhine river,
> destroyed by a stronger hive that later established itself in Venezia;
>   * [...]
