Bees are a symbol of the busy-ness of modern life, and the ways in which we are constantly bombarded with stimulus. The hive in this painting represents the over-stimulation of the mind, and the bees coming out of the head represent the intrusive thoughts that can come with it. The title is a play on the phrase "there's a bee in my bonnet," meaning that somebody is obsessed with 
something. In this case, the obsession is with the busy-ness of the mind, and the ways in which it can be overwhelming.
