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.
