Industrious insect (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

bee

ant

'industrious insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for bee that I've seen before include "Social insect" , "queen, perhaps" , "Social worker possibly" , "Hairy-bodied insect" , "Honey producer" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Sun, the Universal and the King Feature Syndicate.
