"The Beehive State"

Utah: the Beehive State was originally called the State of “Deseret,” which, by the way, means honeybee. The beehive is Utah’s state emblem, thus the nickname. 

Both the beehive and industry (the state motto) are thanks to the 70,000+ pioneers who settled the area in the 19^th century. It is well known for wind-sculpted national parks, high scenic mountains, and stunning desert landscapes. As a result, Utah is famous for year-round outdoor activities
