The beehive has also become synonymous with the state of Utah. The emblem appears on the Utah state flag and on the state seal. By the late nineteenth century, the traditional beehive, usually surrounded by a swarm of bees, could be found on business signs, banners, coins, books and magazines, medals, jewelry, furniture, commemorative spoons and souvenirs, certificates, mastheads and printed materials, folk art, houses, tabernacles, and temples. Many of these items are featured in the new display. The exhibit draws from the museum's extensive holdings as well as from several private collections.
