busy bee
Always on task
A busy bee is someone who stays productively occupied, bustling with activity and purpose.
The phrase draws on the honeybee's reputation for industrious work.
It often carries affectionate or mildly teasing connotations: Look at you, busy bee—you've already cleaned the whole kitchen.
