Same here.
Went to fight the o.r.c. at the berry stash, got beaten up, fled and got killed. Went back there several hours later with better equipment only to find only one bee, searched for the other over the entire south western zone but could find it. So i deceided to wait if it respawns after a time but it didnt, its just gone.
Incredibly frustrating as i cant progess further in the game and im now probably 8 or so hours past the point where i first approached the bees, so im for sure not loading an older save and redoing it all over again.
Would be very glad if this got fixed asap
