I am not very busy in my work recently, that is, I am not working as busy as a bee, however, I want to be busy,because I know, to lead the bee's knees life, we must have a lot of work and enjoy it everyday, so I am now like having a bee in my bonnet. Anyway, everything will be better, I am quite optimistic!

Hello teacher.Every early morning I go working and straight away I become busy as a bee. In the evening, before going back home, I have a bee in my bonnet. Luckily, in the night I can connect on your web site and my mood improves and my worries disappear

My friend has a bee in her bonnet because of her bussiness. There are not many custommers in her restaurant but she has to pay a lot of money for her employees. I think the foods and the atmosphere are the bee's knees. I wish there are a lot of custommers so all the employees would work busy as a bee.
