Bees, perhaps, built honeytrap to trap me! (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hymenoptera

'bees perhaps' is the definition.
(bees are part of the order hymenoptera)

'built honeytrap to trap me' is the wordplay.
'built' indicates anagramming the letters (the same letters can be used to build the answer).
'to trap' indicates putting letters inside.
'honeytrap' is an anagram of 'hynoptera'.
'hynoptera' enclosing 'me' is 'HYMENOPTERA'.

(Other definitions for hymenoptera that I've seen before include "that fly around" , "bees etc" , "insects!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
