Best Answer

The phrase 'the bee's knees', meaning 'the height of excellence' became popular in the US in the 1920s along with 'the cat's whiskers' and 'the cat's pyjamas'.

Other possible origins include a corruption of the phrase 'the business'; and 'the b's and e's (from 'the be-all and end-all').
