Hello! Have you ever been as busy as a bee or had a bee in your bonnet about something? Please write a comment here.

I'm as busy as a bee all the time, because I'm a working mom, and I have two toddlers.

I have a bee in my bonnet, too. It's all about the big exam in July, which I must pass in order to get a job as a qualified English teacher.

And I'm almost 22. I can say I've got an old head on young shoulders, right? :D

The bees work and live in an well organized society even better than human society, so I hope you will give more bee idioms to learners. thank you again!

yeah, the lesson is the bee's knees. I've started to addict to ur lesson :) Certainly, i've been busy as a bee. coz i sometimes do the things at the last minute. Then i have to hurry up in order to catch the deadline;) sometimes i have a bee in my bonnet aswell, I'm always easy to get worried about sth, not so good though.

BTW, I forgot to answer the question.

Yes, sometimes I'm busy as a bee - especially when I'm going to travel somewhere and I have one day to buy everything I need and to do all the things I should do.

I sometimes have a bee in my bonnet, for example when a situation worries me and I talk about it with my frineds all the time

I'm also interested if these idioms are often used. When I read something in English on the sites, I rarely meet many idioms. I think it would be useful to mention how often some idioms are used and where (in Britain or the USA).

I'w like to say thanks to this Teacher - he is a great actor! It's so funny and at the same time useful to watch these lessons! Great!

Interesting. I *think* that in current United States English the second two idioms are rarely used. But Americans who have watched a little BBC will recognize them, even if they sound old fashioned. I wonder whether Brits consider the second two idioms to be old fashioned.
