The beehive is a common symbol in Utah; it's on the State Flag and State Seal. The official nickname of the State of Utah is the "Beehive State."
When the Mormon pioneers arrived it what would become Utah, the beehive was chosen by their leaders to represent industry, perseverance, thrift, stability, and self-reliance; all values the settlers wanted to emulate. Originally the settlers wanted to call their new state "Deseret" a word in the Book of Mormon which means honeybee.
