    I mean the "B" does stand for "Beaver", right?

          Well, why are people leaving their phone and internet cables attached to those delicious looking poles? Kinda seems like teasing.

                      busy as a beaver

                      Very busy, assiduous, or hardworking. The phrase refers to beavers' reputation for being extremely industrious.

                      Between working two part-time jobs, volunteering on the weekends, and looking after his little brother, Sam's been busy as a beaver this summer.

                          Beavers' Columbia. Makes sense.

                                I'm familiar with the saying you site.

                                But "a beaver" implies one beaver; "beavers" would imply multiple beavers were responsible.
