Left a bee with our queen and worker (8)
I believe the answer is:
labourer
'worker' is the definition.
(labourer is a kind of worker)
'left a bee with our queen' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'bee' becomes 'b'.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'queen' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'l'+'a'+'b'+'our'+'er'='LABOURER'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for labourer that I've seen before include "Farmhand" , "Manual worker" , "Navvy" , "One is worthy of his hire, according to the Bible" , "Person who works with their hands" .)
