'honey' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'there's little to get in the way' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'little' could be 'wee' (similar in meaning) and 'wee' is found within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'way' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
