              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.

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

                  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.
