A popular expression is 'It's the bees knees' meaning its ideal, or the best. However although bees have legs with joints like any insect their joint have nothing like a knee cap therefore bees do not have knees as such.

Bees do have knees in the sense that they have leg joints, but since they are insects, with exoskeletons, their leg segments are held together by tissue running through the inside rather than an internal knee joint with a kneecap as we know it.

The Birds and the Bees have knees, with which they can ferment cheese, if they please.

erm, well probably not as they have an exoskeleton, or an endoskeleton am not sure, but whatever it is, it's the opposite of ours (their skeleton is on the outside) so am gonna say no
