Next, I had bees buzzing around! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beside

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

'around' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'next i had bees buzzing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'i' is present in the answer.
'had' could be 'd' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'd' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'bees' is 'bese' which is located in the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
