I was selling honey from a bee hive (obviously hacked thingie) that works like a crafted item.
Where can I find that, it sounds good

Google is a girl's best friend :)

Thanks, I was being lazy at work.... I'll try that this evening.

That's the one. Have your business owner be the first person to "check" honey when you place it. I believe that's how it decides whose inventory it should go into. Carrigon has some edible honey, some beeswax candles, and a hive also (at Inge's site) but hers doesn't have the maker part yet so it doesn't collect and automatically go into inv. I'm still selling the candles anyways :)
Sorry not to give the link - I ran off to work and can only hang out at lunch.

I'm not sure if my experiences with the missing restock signs will help or not.
I have noticed that the restock signs appear across the street or in the corner of the lot IF one or both of the following has occured:
I have used "Move Objects On" to place multiple items on a display counter AND/OR the items placed for sale were custom items.
I have had everything from custom cars to custom knick-knacks cause this to occur...I remember several 'oriental' decor items from TSR causing this - especially the umbrellas. I am wondering if those custom items that cause this are based on objects Maxis did not intend to be set for sale (although the cars would be based on cars and all Maxis cars can be set for sale, so that blows that theory all to Hell).
What I usually do is have someone on the lot replace the item to remove the out of stock sign from the lot. Then I replace the item with something from the catalog that does not cause this to happen.
It's bad juju for the business owner because they just paid for inventory that they can never sell, but I can't stand having those signs in the corner of the lot.

well if you want to have the store available for your other sims to visit and aren't worried about making money from it and don't care about running/playing it yourself, then you could put the owner in the business career (or another one if you want) and never go to the business Lot ever again (unless you really want to).
That way your sim earns money and goes to work and you never have to worry about restocking but your other sims still get to buy stuff from the store. I did this with a store that sold craftable toys and flowers (and regular toys and flowers) and it worked out great. I plan to do it again when I get my new hood set up.
