> a "hive mind" there's no such thing. each ant or member has a brain. if a 'hive mind' existed no ant would be able to operate away from the colony. they do. just fine. what you see is individual ant behaviour expressed on a large scale. nothing more complex than that. > tldr one ant 'could' build a cathedral on its own... but does it better and faster with others helping. the concept of 'hive mind' is largely bs.
