He is portrayed as generally hard-working, especially in his tunnels (which he inevitably falls into at least once).

Milne (a fact that is regularly pointed out in ''Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree'', when he breaks the fourth wall by saying he's "not in the book, y'know", also trying to say that he would not be in a phone book).
