Investigate wakes them, repair wakes them. You can capture them when they are green (awake). Good luck!

LOL! Be aware there's a bug when dealing with hybernating Hive ships.

This is what I do:

Set all fleets to "Do not engage." Then warp all your fleets literally on top of of a Hive ship. It will not respond as long as you don't attack it. Then pause the game, and give all your fleets orders to capture xxx Hive ship. As soon as your first ship fires, you have to pause the game and re-issue all of the fleet capture orders.

The game doesn't see a hibernating Hive ship and an awakened Hive ship as the same ship, even though it clearly is to the player. Any ships locked onto the sleeping Hive ships will immediately lose their orders the second it turns green and becomes "awake." Good luck!

Good luck! I feel for the Hive. May your fleets prevail!
