There are swarms of smaller, around life-sized insects around hives. In order to destroy the hives close contact is mandatory and the swarm always attacks me, often more than once. Spraying the insects with fire seems to have no effect.
How to destroy insect hives without taking damage

Insect swarms are vulnerable to fire, but will not die immediately. You need to use flamethrower around 2-3 seconds to kill a single swarm (even on easy). Kill all swarms close to hive, and start burn hive. While you are constantly burning hive, new insects will not go out.
