Hairstyle from which combs may be taken (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beehive

'hairstyle' is the definition.
(beehive is a kind of hairstyle)

'combs may be taken' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'be' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from which' is the link.

(Other definitions for beehive that I've seen before include "Get hairdo" , "Domed hairstyle" , "place of business" , "Where to find comb" , "Home for hymenopterous species" .)
