"better than most other state flags" [citation needed]

Nothing special or awful. Just kinda meh.
For reference the best state flags are simple. Checkout New Mexico and South Carolina. Both are regularly in the top 5 list of state flags.

A true vexillologist would tell you this is a shit flag because it's too complex. The dot, the yellow line inside the black shape - these are not reducible, the flag is too complex. It's a shit flag designed by someone who doesn't know how to design flags.

So there’s no snow by the sand igloos?
Sad.

Yes. The first settlers of the area revered industriousness. They put used the phrase "Busy as a beehive." And even named the "nation" they were creating (and later the state they were proposing when they realized they weren't going to be allowed to compete with the USA) after the world for bees in the Book of Mormon.

Should’ve been more like the Japanese prefecture flags huh? Beautiful simplicity.

Yes and it's cool.

You misunderstood their meaning. It's not that this is really good, it's that most other states' flags are godawful.

It’s the Honeybee State, so a hive.

It might be a shit flag but I wouldn't be surprised if a shit flag is still better than most state flags.

The fact it's a hive isn't the problem. It's that it's too fine-detailed which makes it a terrible flag.

... why does the book of Mormon have a separate word for "bees"?

Supposedly, one of the tribes of Israel hopped on hollowed out logs with magic rocks in them and floated across the Atlantic to the Americas where they set up shop building a new Israel. Then Jesus visited while doing the whole "I'm dead. Psych!" thing, a war broke out, and all the "good" Native Americans were killed. Their history of the whole thing was written on some solid gold plates and buried in upstate New York and found by con artist and aspiring prophet Joseph Smith, who read the hieroglyphic "reformed Egyptian" text on the plates by putting them in a hat with a pair of magic "divine" rocks that translated them for him by God's will. The text that came from this was the Book of Mormon.
So the different wording was part of the con from the aforementioned "reformed Egyptian" text.

This new one for Utah is better than most. But as you said that is not a great endorsement. I just looked at the old flag and this new one is an upgrade.

I liked the one where it was just the beehive on a blue background. This is a huge improvement over the current flag though and any state that has a seal on its flag.
