Exactly long long does it take for bees to respawn in balboa island?
I already know that there's a spot near the big berry container where you can add berries to make momma bear eat there forever. The thing is that is quite bs that bears around there quickly respawn there (pretty much lots of raw food), but not the bees or beehives and i simply don't know where else in the island could be more bees, also the chances of bees being on medium/big islands is ridiculously low.

It's not a timed thing, you have to get far enough away for Balboa island to respawn. Head away from the island until the receiver shows it in a new location. Alternatively, be selective with your islands - bees, hives, and bears spawn on islands similar to Balboa. If you see mangoes, palm trees, a screecher, a warthog, or any capturable creatures, it's not going to have bees/beehives

i am under the impression that "NON-story" rare islands ONLY spawn when NOT using the sail or engine.
i finished the story and since then i have gone 200 days with no /bear/plane/tugboat island.
i decided to put my sail down and within 1 hour i found a bear AND the wrecked plane.

I tried getting far away and wait a couple days (ingame) almost till the distance was 1500 in the radar. When i came back there was still no bees and beehives but of course, bears

You need to keep going, I think I've heard the respawn distance is 1800. If it works, it should be in a different direction from the one you already cleared.

So, should I remove the sail to find plane crashed island? Does it increase my chance to find it? or it's just your extreme luck..

I thought they meant they are travelling by sail alone. Not sure.

I like to keep returning to caravan Island because of the 3 groups of bees and all loot in the trailers that usually gives me at least 4-6 biofuel every trip back. I usually go out to a couple of new Islands and when I come back everything has respawned. Admittedly I never paid attention to the distant away that I get though.

I found the tubgoat island with my engine going. If you want to find island with bears and pine trees, have the coordinates for Balboa in your receiver. If you want desert islands, have caravan in your receiver.
There are plenty islands between Balboa and Caravan Town and all the island between (forest / desert types) you don't need to wait on Balboa.

Also they fully reset once you travel beyond 2000 tiles distance.

There are 4 locations with 2 lots of bees in each on Balboa Island.
