One employed to help maintain a beehive? (9)
I believe the answer is:
hairspray
'one employed to help maintain a' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'beehive?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'beehive?' could be 'hair' (beehive is a kind of hair) and 'hair' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'spray' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hairspray that I've seen before include "setter" , "pressurised stuff?" , "Barnet manager" , "fine solution" .)
