The word "built".
The ordinals (i.e. first, second, third, fourth, and fifth) refer to the ordinal positions of the letters of the answer word "built" (i.e. "b", "u", "i", "l", and "t" respectively). These letters have the same sound as the words described by each clue, as follows:
Line 1: first letter - b/bee - A bee can "sting" you.
Line 2: second letter - u/yew - A yew stays "green" year round.
Line 3: third letter - i/eye - You wouldn't "see a thing" without an eye.
Line 4: fourth letter - l/ell - An ell is an extension or "wing" of a building.
Line 5: fifth letter - t/tee - This clue refers to a golf tee, which may help you with "your swing".
