Some honey making its maker money (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beebread

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some honey making its' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'maker money' is the wordplay.
'maker' becomes 'bee' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'money' becomes 'bread' (bread is slang for money).
'bee'+'bread'='BEEBREAD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for beebread that I've seen is " food for insects".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
