The phrase "The Bee's Knees" means excellence or the highest quality.

Popularized by America's 1920 socialites, or flappers, nonsense phrases were used to signify the height of excellence. While a number of similar phrases from this time in history have faded out of usage, the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas have endured.

Use Example - You brought me breakfast in bed? Darling, you are the bee's knees.
