Actually, if you look this up on the internet, most reputable sites simply call them GROUPS. I could not find any other term, even on college and research websites. Termites live in nests, Bees live in hives, and Ants live in colonies, but the insects themselves are said to live in groups.

Beekeepers refer to groups of bees as colonies. The same term can be used for all.

There question could also refer to taxonomical groups: Bees, wasps, ants, sawflies, and some others are in the order Hymenoptera; termites are in the order Isoptera.
