Hairstyles of various descriptions this Sunday, which I must admit passed me by completely, perhaps because I was preoccupied with the references to bees, and the somewhat odd word at 17ac. This was all solved in a jiffy, nonetheless, with a question mark against the parsing for 15d, and several false starts with the I at 5ac. Having hive in both the clue and answer at 1ac struck me as being a little odd, but the rest was I think sound and without controversy. An enjoyable Sunday diversion should you be looking for one.

COD? I’ll go with 17d – “Crack cocaine’s related to immorality (7)”.

All the answers and parsing of the clues can be found in Fifteensquared’s blog from May 2018:
