Or -- at the risk of being called obsessed with a certain kind of tree -- Burnt Oak?

Thanks.

Scotland versus Yorkshire? Verbal abuse of Vespidae, irregular -- t'lingo; hornets then wroth

Hint: geographical narrowing-down -- the "answer station" is in one of the two sections of Great Britain which are the clue's first and third words.

Glenrothes with Thornton? I don't get the Yorkshire bit unless it refers to the ex-trolleybus terminus of Thornton in Bradford.

Glenrothes with Thornton, it is. The "Yorkshire" thing was a small flight of fancy: had to have "t'lingo" to make the anagram; so imagined an entomological slanging match between Scotland (to give a hint of the "answer station" 's location), and Yorkshire -- the latter envisaged as speaking, and upsetting the Scottish insects.

Your floor.

Is2270 is right. Split into three parts - hat (goes on a head)/her (not him)/sage (the wise man)

Adding to chorus of praise. Elegantly simple (I was thrashing around with thoughts of Solomon / Gaspar / Melchior / Balthazar).
