I'm not a pilot but the collective refers to the collective pitch lever, which the pilot operates in a manner much like a handbrake in a Porsche but I think it is on the left side. Anyway, the collective changes the pitch of all the blades at the same time. In a hover, if you want to go higher, you pull up on the collective. Lower, you let the collective down a bit.
