   Do you mean “swarm” or “hive”?

   Wasps almost never swarm. They do live together in hives, however. Or at least some of them do, there are also many solitary wasps and bees. Other insects that live in hives or at least communal structures include termites and ants.

   Swarming occurs in many different groups of insects. Bees swarm when a colony gets too big and some of the population flies off to found a new one. Locusts, cicada, white-flies, army ants, mayflies, termites, and many types of grasshopper and their relatives also swarm. I’m probably forgetting dozens.
