Also the reason I gave them an Achilles Heal of the Queen/Queens 
having to rest and a lesser control being exerted on the hive 
during these periods. 

I did not give the amount of time required for a queen to sleep in 
a 48 hour period, or when or what will cause a queen to awaken 
from sleep putting the hive back in alert mode. I think these 
would need to be figured by the Individual DM/GM for his campaign. 
Besides we all seem to have a need/want to fiddle with stats 
anyway. B^)
