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

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

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for honey that I've seen before include "sweetener" , "Sweet product of insects" , "Produce of bees" , "sweet thing" , "Product of bees; darling" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
