Trembling, seeing second colony of bees by railway (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shivery

'trembling' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'second colony of bees by railway' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'colony of bees' becomes 'hive' (I've seen this before).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'railway' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation for railway).
's'+'hive'+'ry'='SHIVERY'

'seeing' is the link.

(Another definition for shivery that I've seen is " Affected by cold".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
