ELI5: What is the difference between a hive mind and a group of individuals working together?

A Hive Mind is a single entity in control of the actual minds of their subjects, forcing them to act even if they find the process painful and gruelling.

Individuals working together is because they're just that: Individuals. They have the ability to think freely and against the work, and can oppose anybody or anything forcing them to participate in the work.
