It's actually more American Italian than British, as in "taking care of'a da bizzniss" (bees knees gedit?).
(according to QI anyway)

Now look here Mr Kmo. Given that you're of the inferior sub species known as 'American' it's no surprise that you are unfamiliar with the veritable bastion of intellectual trivia otherwise known as 'QI'. Acquaint yourself with it forthwith, and you may even get to know the origin of sprouts...

"Bees carry pollen back to the hive in sacs on their legs. It is tempting to explain this phrase as alluding to the concentrated goodness to be found around a bee's knee, but there's no evidence to support this explanation. It is also sometimes said to be a corruption of 'business', but there's no evidence to support that either."
Take your pick then, but we here in the UK tend to regard the QI TV show as the ultimate authority.

Funny that you don't highlight the part that says there's no evidence for the 'business' connection. No one uses the phrase in reference to business. lain:
