See to an apiarist's needs in the vegetable line (6)
I believe the answer is:
chives
'see' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chives that I've seen before include "Plants" , "Plant of onion family" , "Herbs with long tubular onionflavoured leaves" , "Leaves used as onion-flavoured seasoning" , "Herb of the onion family" .)
