How do I upgrade the hive?

That system is being worked on right now for the final release. Normally, on Game Mode, you will get Biomass and then upgrade from the main menu that you see at the start of each day in the Hive Chamber. (The red one with your giant green eye). So, I would not worry too much about it right now, you'll have to make a new save anyway when this final release drops.
