What is a Beaver Moon?

According to Nasa, Beaver Moon is one of the nicknames for the November full Moon that has origins from a variety of traditions and folklore in Native American and European culture.

One explanation – November is when beavers prepare for the winter by fortifying dams and stocking their food supply.
