Last night I managed to get a group together to take a run at The Deathly Scarab Hive inside The Crypt of Betryal and take a pop at the bug queen.
Unfortunately, due to the quest being written up incorectly on the web, none of the people from the guild who came were able to join me and I was forced to go in with a pick up group.
The final questers were myself (25 Guardian), a 28 Monk, 28 Paladin and 25 Templar.
To zone in you require:
1. To be at the final point of the quest called “Into the hive” given by the Crypt Keeper.
2. To be at least lvl 24
3. To have a very good healer
4. The zone is on a 8 hour timer for failed attempts
There follows a few notes and images of what I found.
Upon zoning in there are a number of lower level bugs hanging around a small yard:
We made quick work of these! Our Paladin had been in the zone before and made us stay back. Guarding the next area are four larger bugs. These are all non agro UNTIL you cross the line. We buffed up and suddenly the bugs were upon us. They fought hard and conned white.
The battle flowed and our large DPS count started to beat them down. Breathless we were happy with the perfomance and started to wait for health and rebuffs before heading in further. However, we were not given the chance! Suddenly the Queen came up the stairs and attacked. She had spells and poisons as well as around 4 babies.
She was very tough and not being ready we looked like we were in trouble
Finally the Paladin dropped and soon after we all did. The battle was very very close by the end. It looks like you have to the pull all the mobs RIGHT to the zone line and be ready to run. Or at least have two healers and more dps.
I left to find more Guardians but soon afterwards, I also got major wife agro and had to log 
I look forwards to returning to this place and sorting this bitch out! (Queen Ankhestara, not my wife!)
Guardians of Qeynos here is your challenge!
