Keep establishing new colonies and keep researching. The Hive isn't nearly as scary once you have superior tech ships.
Don't get a defensive mind set, the Hive grows faster than you do and can settle more kinds of worlds than you can. Accept that a lot of your settlers are going to be bug chow and don't lose sleep over it.
Picket all systems with a single cheap DD unit. The AI is fond of sending out colony ships without an escort. Every Hive colony ship you kill is a world you won't have to bombard later.
You don't have to kill all the Trogs to win this scenario. They're surrender once you've hurt them enough.
