Current Behavior

When currently upgrading, or likely repairing the Apiary, if a beehive is in a state where it contains honey and/or bees, the builder will request a new empty beehive and replace it, destroying anything that was contained inside.

Expected Behavior

The builder should ignore the state of any beehive when upgrading or repairing, unless it's missing, and leave it as it.

Reproduction Steps

1. Make an Apiary, make sure there are no worker to avoid harvesting
2. Make sure the beehive(s) are filled with honey and bees
3. Upgrade or repair the apiary

Logs

None required

Anything else?

I'm not sure if it's just the honey in the hive, or if bees inside are also affecting it, but when it happened to me, the few bees I had vanished right after the upgrade, which might mean they were inside the beehive when the builder replaced it, destroying them.

It seems to also affect the Composter when Compost barrels are being used. I'm just upgrading mine from 2 to 3, which would only require 1 barrel, but my builder requests 3 compost barrels instead.

Little addition as I upgraded my Composter from 3 to 4, is if you don't give them the compost barrels they request at the end (wanted 3 more) , and cancel the requests (when no crafter can make them), they'll finish the upgrade without issue.
