Can anyone help me with the parsing of 10 across please. The clue is "A north American bee, I love honey - it's ability to revivify" (9). I'm sure the answer is "anabiosis" but I don't understand how "honey" gives you "sis". Any help greatly appreciated.
My Bradfords dictionary defines honey as sis.
Not sure either really .Anabiosis is what I had .
Americanism possibly ..honey ..sister .
A na b ( a north american bee )I ..o (love) sis (honey)
and... the ability to revivify of course is anabiosis :)
The ability to return to life after apparent death.
So make sure you get a kiss from a honey if you think you're about to peg out:)
