Possible idea to be considered: Beetles seem to be able to communicate with each other in some way. Would recommend that we take the time to figure out how they do so in order to be able to commune with them ourselves. Communication leads to options, be it coexistence and cooperation or gives us tactical options when dealing with the beetles in the future.

On similar note, attempt to discover a means to commune with the bees. They are not an active threat to us and thus coexistence is assured, but opening means to communicate would allow for cooperation. 

Suggestion: Spider's silk 'web' creating ability should be examined and if possible, some members of the hive should be restructured to benefit from this knowledge. The development of our own silk gives us construction and tactical benefits.
