For years of driving through the high deserts of Utah, I'd wondered why the state logo on highway signs was a beehive. It is an LDS allegory for the rewards of community work, and of fertility. From an interpretation of the biblical Deseret. They actually tried to establish a State of Deseret, but the U.S. Government never recognized it, and created Utah and Nevada. But the LDS managed to mark their central territory with their beehive logo. It is an arguably secular image, but with religious significance to the LDS.
