Miserly, like a bee? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stingy

This clue is a double definition.

'miserly' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'like a bee?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for stingy that I've seen before include "Tight with money" , "Having deep pockets but short arms?" , "Patch of nettles is" , "'Mean, miserly (6)'" , "Informally mean like aggressive wasp?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
