Utah's nickname is "The Beehive State" so you are correct. Those are beehives.
The early settlers were somewhat gaga about bees (I suspect 'Ol Brigham had a hel...I mean a HECKuva sweet tooth!). He (they) so admired the work ethics of the honeybee that they made the State motto "Industry" not after big brick and mortar factories, as some assume, but after the indefatiguable industriousness of the bee.
Utah at one time had more bee colonies than any other state, but as the orchards became subdivisions, that long ago lost its truth. But we're still the beehive state!
