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

                  https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/busy+as+a+beaver

                  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?

                            I'm familiar with the saying you site.

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