A pair vandalised yard where bees are kept (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apiary

'where bees are kept' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a pair vandalised yard' is the wordplay.
'vandalised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'yard' becomes 'y'.
'pair' with letters rearranged gives 'piar'.
'a'+'piar'+'y'='APIARY'

(Other definitions for apiary that I've seen before include "Place for keeping bees" , "Where honey is made?" , "Place to keep bees" , "it creates a lot of buzz" , "Bee colony" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
