I just saw the new panzer Muffalo and though "Why does it need allways that big ?"
Why not goind smaller !.
With a new pheromo,acustic,microwave modulated generator you can stimulate the Queen of a hive to work for you.
You can assign the Queen to a stockpile where she create her hive and start to produce drones.
The drones will haul things to their stockpile only + food for the hive.
The Queen will need enough food at the hive to produce another drone.

There should be different kind of insect hives.
Dragonfly - fast but weak drones, can carry 1-5 but no chunks.
Ant - stronger but slower. can carry 5-10
Rhinobeetle - Very strong but very slow but very tough. can carry 50.
