That WK lvl5 battle against the Hive Mother, et.al. is a toughie, for sure. In my experience, the best way to handle this battle is

1) Go back to the pocket plane and rememorize your spells, then return.
2) Summon the very best monsters available.
3) Cast all of your standard party buffing spells.
4) Surround your party with the monsters, but have most of them on the side where the Hive Mother comes in.

Now start the battle.

Have your mage(s) be ready to cast breeching spells to drop the magical defenses of the Hive Mother and her pals.

Simply put, use your summoned monsters to keep the enemies busy while you focus your party's full force on only 1 or 2 enemies at a time.

It's a tough battle. But like all "tough" battles, once you've figured out the proper tactics, it becomes much easier.
