How do creatures with a hive mind communicate?

+0
−0

Suppose we have a civilisation which is made up of many creatures sharing a single hive mind. Each creature can see, hear and remember what each other member of the species (or possibly hive) has seen heard and experienced, they think and make decisions as one. Range limits are acceptable.

They are not using magic, this is a purely biological trait, it's also safe to assume there are no physical nerves between each member of the collective.

Could a species evolve this way, if so how would the mechanism work?
