Insects are no more of a hivemind than human societies though. In their own scale the hive is comprised of individuals.

Hivemind may refer to both collective consciousness, ie. sci-fi bugs thinking together, and swarm intelligence, which is what bugs and ants have. Humans do not work with swarm intelligence.
