Gently bite flower full of bees (6)
I believe the answer is:
nibble
'gently bite' is the definition.
'nibble' can be an answer for 'bite' (nibbling is a kind of biting). I'm unsure of the 'gently' bit.
'flower full of bees' is the wordplay.
'flower' becomes 'nile' (Nile is an example).
'full of' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bees' becomes 'bb' (the letter B written twice).
'nile' going around 'bb' is 'NIBBLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nibble that I've seen before include "Snack" , "express tentative interest" , "Bite off very small pieces" , "Eat with small dainty bites, like mouse" , "Bite gently and eat a little at a time" .)
