Where the healthy bee is to be found? (2,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in the pink

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

'where' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'healthy bee is to be found?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'healthy' could be 'inthe' (I've seen this before) and 'inthe' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pink' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in the pink that I've seen before include "Fit as a fiddle" , "suited for hunting?" , "Informally in good health, even roseate" , "Enjoying very good health with roseate condition" , "Very well" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
