Industrious insect (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

bee

ant

'industrious insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ant that I've seen before include "Six-footer" , "Termite" , "colonist" , "Small social insect" , "Colonial insect?" .)

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