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.
The reason members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) do not swear or cuss is because of teachings found in the Bible. Verses such as Ephesians 4:29 "Let corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." ; Colossians 3:8 "But now ye also put off... filthy communication out of your mouth" ; all of James Chapter 3; etc. explain that unkind or foul language is inappropriate and unacceptable to God.
In addition, many of the church's modern-day prophets and apostles have spoken on the topic. See the "Related Links" below to see what they have had to say on the topic of appropriate language.
Yes. The members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("LDS" or "Mormon") are generally known to be very clean, friendly, family-oriented people. They tend to be very active in serving in their communities and provide a lot of charity and humanitarian services.
However, just being a member of the LDS church doesn't make you a good person. It is living out your faith by being Christlike that makes you a good person.
What happens when a Mormon apostle dies?

What is the average size of a ward in the Mormon church?
A ward outside of the "Mormon Curtain" (Utah, Idaho, Arizona, parts of California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington) in the United States would probably have anywhere from 50 to 200 active members. Inside the "Mormon Curtain", wards are usually larger, about 300 -400 people. I was once in a ward that hit over 600 people before it was split into two. Our youth group alone had 150 teenagers!
A branch, on the other hand, a small congregation, can be anywhere from 5 people to nearly 200.

The Edmunds Act, also known as the Edmunds Anti-Polygamy Act of 1882, is a United States federal statute, signed into law on March 23, 1882, by President Chester Arthur which made polygamy a felony. The act is named after George Edmunds who was a U.S. Senator of Vermont. The Edmunds Act also prohibited "bigamous" or "unlawful cohabitation" (a misdemeanor), because proving that marriages had actually occurred was exceedingly difficult especially since LDS polygamous wives almost always refused to testify against their husbands. Rather, they were charged with bigamous cohabitation, a misdemeanor created by the Edmunds Act (1882). Proving cohabitation was easy enough, and over 1,300 Latter-day Saints were jailed as "cohabs" in the 1880s.
The act both reinforced the 1862 Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act and revoked polygamists' right to vote, barred them from jury service, and prohibited them from holding any political office. The Edwards Act restrictions were enforced regardless of whether an individual was actually practicing polygamy, or merely stated a belief in the LDS doctrine of plural marriage without actually participating in it. In the Idaho Territory a test oath adopted in 1885 based on this law was used to ban all Mormons (and former Mormons) from voting because of the Church's position on polygamy.
A claim was made that the law violated the constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws because it punished polygamists for marriages solemnized before the law was passed. The Supreme Court ruled, in Murphy v. Ramsey that the statute was not ex post facto because convicts were charged for their continued cohabitation, not for the prior illegal marriage. Some modern scholarship suggests the law may be unconstitutional for being in violation of the Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution, although the Supreme Court has yet to agree with this assertion. The portions of the law barring those who believe in polygamy but not practicing it from voting, jury service, and public office have since been deemed unenforceable if not unconstitutional.
Do Mormons believe they will be gods and Does Brooke White believe she will be one of the God-wives?
I don't know who Brooke White is but Mormons believe they can become gods, IF they do certain ceremonies in the temple and keep the vows they make there. Not all Mormons believe they will become gods, because not all Mormons go to the temple and do the ceremonies they believe are required.
They do not believe they will become gods but they do believe they will be able to become more like Jesus and god.
What do you need to know if converting to lds?

What are the four states the Mormons lived in before coming to Utah?
Individual members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have lived in every state before moving to Utah. However, historically the headquarters of the Church (and therefore most of the leaders and a large number of members) has moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois and finally to Utah where it has been since 1847.
Today there are over 6 million Mormons living in every state of the United States and 14.5 million Mormons living around the world. Only about 10% (1.5 million) of all Mormons today live in Utah.
