I also wonder about the way it is used today, mainly in black communities, to refer to how someone cooks well. As in “girl you put yo foot in dis chicken.” I think it is a reference to when a dog puts his foot in a plate to lick every last morsel off so as not to miss a drop. The dog had to work hard to get it all therefore “he put his foot in it” to hold the plate down to accomplish the feat.

Fitz Turner – (bee in bonnet) January 15, 2022
The term has changed from the earlier legend, The thistle and bee story, https://macinnes.org/symbols/bee_story.html
The Chief of Kinlochaline’s answer was “Friendship will ever be ours, whilst the bee on the thistle is with me and with every member of the Clan MacInnes who carries the favour in his bonnet.”
This would suggest it is good to have a bee in the bonnet, and not scatterbrained.
