Insect that buzzes around girl in the country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

belize

'country' is the definition.
(Belize is an example)

'insect that buzzes around girl' is the wordplay.
'insect that buzzes' becomes 'bee'.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'girl' becomes 'liz' (**).
'bee' placed around 'liz' is 'BELIZE'.

'in the' is the link.

(Other definitions for belize that I've seen before include "Caribbean country" , "Commonwealth state" , "Country formerly called British Honduras" , "Central American state" , "Central American republic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
