Someone does.
ptguardian opened the thread on Jan 22, 2009 with
DiAMOND release
not mine
dmd-bees.avi [700.23 Mb]
I also found this same hash in an eMule search, so it is still "current" (but not downloading for me right now) and going by a different title:

Since it is an .avi, the file length is listed in the search -- 1:53:50.
This is the director's cut.
Then on page 2, ptguardian released a blu-ray rip that is "not the director's cut".
Then on April 05, 2009, katzenjammer followed up with
And the directors cut, only aXXo-rip:
The.Secret.Life.Of.Bees[2008][Director's.Cut]DvDrip-aXXo.[sharethefiles.com].avi [701.01 Mb]
This same hash is currently found in an eMule search under this title:

This one IS currently downloading for me.
idler was not sure it was actually the Director's Cut:
Not really. This version has exactly the length as ptguardian's post from January, 22nd - 1:53:50.
But that IS the DC. The theatrical is 1:49:49.
The movie has been released both on DVD and Blu-ray with both cuts.
In January 2009, Quickone said he has both versions of the film, yet he was the one asking what the differences were. (You quoted this post, emuler.) Quickone, I see you were still active at FLM in May of this year. Are you still here? Did you ever compare the 2 versions to figure out the differences? Is it indeed only slightly extended shots and a few additional lines of dialog? Or do we get non-stop profanity, graphic violence and nudity?
Or more likely, even if you DID compare them, I think it likely after 12 years that you do not remember the differences. I know that I would not after that long of a time.
ANYWAYS ... the DC is out there, even if it is in outdated quality. I do not have popdrome's latest upgrade yet, so I don't know which version it is. (popdrome, are you there? Can you say which?) Historically speaking, there are some FLM members who had the DC. And (ahem) it is the old-timers who have asked about the differences! Well guys, have you watched this more than once in the past 12 years? Did you compare?
I am just a Newbie to FLM and to this title, so I don't even know if it is any good. The only movies I can even think of with the lead actress are something with Sean Penn (didn't see it), something with Tom Cruise (will never see that) and The Dakota Fanning Rape Movie. I was too traumatized by that to check out any of her other movies until now. I am hoping this one is at least a
little less harsh.
