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

Yeah, Beaver City!

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.

Yes this is the country that will take over the USA in a supposed war

Says you. The beardier the better!

I'm familiar with the saying you site.

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