		A hive mind is the collective sharing of minds into a single consciousness, serving and driving the goals of its entire population, as was the case for the Borg.
		In the same year, the Borg's hive mind was almost thrown into chaos when Species 6339 almost suceeded in infecting a large quantity of Borg vessels with a synthetic pathogen targetted at the ship's vinculum.
		Instead the hive mind exists on an altogether different level of consciousness wherein the very notion of individuality is as alien to the hive mind as the hive mind itself is to an indvidual consciousness.

		She is the breeding female that populates the hive and replenishes it with fresh workers or defenders.
		The Hive Mind itself is not solely a biological being, nor is it solely a single kiramon.
		Ideally the Hive Mind should not have to create these, as it already is connected to any other kiramon in the cooperative hives, however on rare occasions, the Mind needs to be "closer" to the situation so to speak.

		In most cases this is seen in terms of insects and the hive queen, where the queen is the brain and the other members of the hive are merely extensions of the hive mind.
		A hive world can also be a society that mimics the hive mind pattern, where the world has an aspect of conformity and/or mindlessness within individual members.
		Hives are typically dominated by a matriarch, the queen, and the fear of the hive could be seen as fear of female equality, or domination.

	Extelligence
		One property that does appear to emerge with large hive minds is that latency becomes exponentially higher for node to node communication.
		A conflict between hive minds can cause great tension, so it is often the governments job to try to manipulate the social mind or find a syngery with it.

	Avon Books: Excerpt from EINSTEIN'S BRIDGE
		The Hive Mind's latest breed of extradimensional Lookers signaled the find, triggering rapid transmissions that rose to a screaming pitch on all frequency bands as communications from separated components stitched across the planet.
		From these regularities the Hive Mind's first theories and mathematics emerged, as it deduced the existence of a solar system with planets and a force of gravity that held them in regular orbits.
		Slowly, as the millennia passed, the secrets of chemistry and biology and physics were revealed, as the Hive channeled Workers to perform measurements and experiments that would verify or falsify the theories that the Hive Mind had devised.

	The Hive Mind of Cyberspace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In a hive mind there is no entity in charge and yet there is an "invisible hand" that oversees the group as a whole.
		The hive mind is a "collection of many autonomous parts" where each entity reacts individually according to the "rules" of the whole.
		This is demonstrated in the beehive when some bees search out a new hive as individuals, returning to the hive to demonstrate the best sites, wherein all of the bees follow the hive that has been selected by the group as a whole.

		The behavior of a human tribe can be considered to be the result of something like a hive mind, and the reason humans are so much better at it than any other species is language.
		The communications channel between individual humans contributing to the hive mind has much more bandwidth and incomparably more sophisticated encoding than for any other species which engages in collective behavior.
		In nature, no hive mind exhibits intelligence at a level that approaches the actual intelligence of the individual units which are part of it.

		Den Beste’s supposition, I think, is a hope that a “hive mind” may arise within the human population as a possible means to super human intelligence.
		He then provides, as examples of hive mind in action, the world of bees, ants and termites as a means to understanding how a hive mind may function.
		The development of a hive mind in a human population group, to me, is more akin to mass delusion or psychosis.

		Hive Mind is this guy from Detroit who, over the past year or so, has released about a dozen cassettes and CD-Rs documenting his experiments in extreme post-industrial noise and reconstructed electronics.
		However, Hive Mind possesses an ability to orchestrate these seemingly inhuman qualities into this warm, almost moist sound-organism that breathes, stutters, and gasps with all the minute rhythmic nuances of Grandma's respirator-aided nod-off.
		Now call me fucked up, but whether I am listening to a solid hour of Hive Mind or the partially artificial breathing of an elderly relative, both death tones are deeply unsettling yet utterly hypnotic.

		Never mind the fact that the true purpose of the Second Amendment is not to protect the rights of deer hunters, but to protect the citizenry against a tyrannical government (an argument you will never hear voiced on any television program).
		This imprints on the mind of the viewer the attitude that questioning the official line or holding "anti-government" opinions is crazy, therefore not to be emulated.
		There is no doubt that we have been brought closer to the "hive mind" by the mass media.

		My conscious mind is VERY comfortable if I could have all my time "figured out" and I feel totally safe and balanced with everything "planned out".
		Now sometimes, because my mind is examining all the things that I need to get done, it takes me a little bit to settle down and get to the point of where I'm actually intentionally creating my day.
		Convincing your mind that you don't want it because you already have it (the mirror effect) is a major key to super-charging your efforts to achieve all your goals, get what you want in life, and be totally successful in every way.

	The Straight Dope Mailbag: The Straight Dope Mailbag: Does "hive mind" give ants and bees superintelligence?
		"Hive mind" is basically a science-fiction concept that extrapolates from a reality that's a lot less flashy.
		It's not that the concept is a bad one, but the connotations are a bit much.
		Calling this a "hive mind" is reading way too much into it, but also an oversimplification of how the phenomenon comes about.

		The parts are tiny bits of evidence scattered sparsely through the hive of my brain: a record of cold shivering, of a bumpy ride somewhere, of many sightings of stars, of hitchhiking.
		A hive mind is a distributed memory that both perceives and remembers.
		It is possible that a human mind may be chiefly distributed, yet, it is in artificial minds where distributed mind will certainly prevail.

		All of the Hive Mind Powers except Catalyst are defined as functioning continuously, even the Warp Blast (weird as that seems).
		So a Hive Tyrant could conceivably buy every Hive Mind Power and effectively use them all in a given turn because only one needs to be turned on, Catalyst.
		Monsters with Venom Cannons will be useful, especially a Hive Tyrant with Enhanced Senses and Toxin Sacs (that gives him three shots at S 8 with BS 4, trumping the force field on a Wave Serpent that reduces the S of the attack to 8).

		While that sound like a description that could be applied to your favorite post-rock album, you have to keep in mind that the entire album is built out of atonal shards of noise, which is what you should expect from Hive Mind.

		Sometimes this happens in a synchronistic manner, where the Hive mind recipients respond to the researchers "thought waves or plans" in an unconscious manner.
		When she brings up the issues of what is truly happening via abductions or strange mind control manipulations, she is accused of being crazy and the husband threatens to take custody of the child and file for divorce, regardless of the child's obvious distress and "anomalous trauma.
