I would like to point out that two "Hive Fleets" are almost never in the same theatre of war at the same time, and that when they are they fight one another. They do this so that the stronger Hive Fleet can absorb the bio-mass and genetic bounty of the weaker Hive Fleet, and thus the victorious Hive Fleet grows and evolves. This is also an event that the Imperium and many other intelligent species put a great deal of effort to stopping as the Hive Fleet that emerges from the conflict is inevitably bigger and more dangerous than the two that went in.
