hives of activity
Very busy spots
Places buzzing with busy, productive work—the image comes from beehives, where countless bees move constantly in coordinated labor.
Any workspace or location full of energetic effort qualifies: The trading floor was a hive of activity.
Often used in the plural to emphasize multiple centers of busyness: The city's markets are hives of activity on Saturday mornings.
