Interesting, I didn’t know Utah was known for bees/honey.

LDS / Mormon here, it's the logo for Deseret, https://www.deseret.com/pages/deseret-news-logo/

Same thing with Deseret industries or anything under that sub moniker

What you're implying here is the State of Utah put a newspaper logo on their flag. Is that accurate?

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's referring to this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Deseret

The newspaper was named after that as well

Well, that's lame. It would be cooler if it was just because of bees.

^ this is correct.
