Bee's defense (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sting

'bee's defense' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sting that I've seen before include "con trick" , "Painful wound - confidence trick" , "Wound from insect" , "Con: leader singer of Police" , "Sudden pain - swindle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the LA Times.
