What does the word Deseret have to do with the Mormon religion?
Mormon2000
The word Deseret is found in the Book of Mormon and supposedly means Honeybee. Early Mormons adopted this word and the symbol of the beehive to represent their industriousness - they were busy, hardworking, and highly organized, just like bees.The Deseret title can still be found on many things related to or owned by the church such as Deseret News (a Mormon-owned newspaper), Deseret Industries (a Mormon owned thrift store), and Deseret Book (a Mormon book store).

What is deseret finally?
The word 'Deseret' is defined by the Book of Mormon as honeybee. (See Ether 2:3) Deseret was the name of a territory or state proposed by the Mormon pioneers, which covered parts of modern day Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California. In pioneer times, the word Deseret was almost used synonymously with the word Zion - it was the home of the Saints. Deseret was also used to name things of Mormon origin, such as the Deseret Alphabet or the Deseret News. Today, Deseret is still used in the names of companies or organizations affiliated with the Mormon Church, including Deseret Book, Deseret Industries, Deseret News, and Deseret Transportation.

What state is named after the Mormon word for beehive which stands for hard work?
None. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) don't have their own language, so they don't have a word for beehive. The word "Deseret" is found in the Book of Mormon in Ether 2:3 defined as an ancient word meaning "Honeybee". No state is named "Deseret". The Mormon pioneers proposed giving that name to what is now Utah, but the US Government named it Utah after the Ute Indians who live there. Utah is nicknamed the "Beehive State", because the beehive is symbolic of the thrift and industry that the original settlers of the state had to practice in order to survive.
