I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'area by a watering hole' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'insect on river removed danger' is the wordplay.
'insect' becomes 'bee' (bee is a type of insect).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'river' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for river).
'removed' is an anagram indicator (moved again).
'danger' is an anagram of 'garden'.
'bee'+'r'+'garden'='BEER GARDEN'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
