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.

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