A place where bees are kept (6)
I believe the answer is:
apiary
'a place where bees are kept' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for apiary that I've seen before include "Home for bees" , "Home for the honey bee" , "Beehive collection" , "Bee colony" , "Bee hive" .)
