English Idiom of the Day – Busy as a bee

Busy as a bee
If someone says you are as a busy as a bee it means you are very busy or very active.
Example: She's as busy as a bee, always going to meetings and organizing parties; The Teacher said: "I want everyone to be as busy as bees".
Did you know...? The first recorded usage of this idiom is from well known 'Canterbury Tales' written in the 14th Century.
Hey just came upon your website via Google after I typed in, “English Idiom of the Day”
or perhaps something similar (can’t quite remember exactly). In any case, I’m delighted I found it
simply because your subject material is exactly what I’m searching for (writing a college paper) and I hope you don’t mind if I collect some material from here and I will of course credit you
as the reference. Many thanks.
Hi there,
