having a bee in your bonnet means that you are stuck on an idea, or obsessed with that idea.
too big for your boots means that you are conceited or full or yourself. sometimes people say "too big for your breeches"
idioms are so funny! |

"Breeches" is a very old word for trousers. Here in Ohio, the dialectical word "britches" is usually substituted, saying "He �s too big for his britches".
kmtr explained both idioms perfectly.
