Crossword Genius

Insects — two of them in rubbish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bees

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'insects' is the first definition.
(bee is a kind of insect)

'two of them in rubbish' is the second definition.
(the word 'rubbish' has two B's)

(Other definitions for bees that I've seen before include "Social insects" , "Apiary inhabitants" , "Four-winged insects" , "Honey makers" , "Honey-producing insects" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
