There's a lot of money in honey (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pots

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

'there's a' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'lot of money in honey' is the wordplay.
'lot of money' becomes 'pot'.
'in honey' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pot'+'s'='POTS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pots that I've seen before include "Stop (anag.)" , "Preserves" , "Gets (a ball) into pocket" , "Ceramics; pockets (ball)" , "Cooking utensils" .)
