“Deseret, Which, by Interpretation, is a Honey Bee”
This word and its accompanying symbols and meanings are familiar to Latter-day Saints. This verse, however is the one place where the word is found in the Book of Mormon. No doubt it is a Jaredite word that Mormon has translated for our benefit. This word and the idea of the Jaredites taking bees with them on their journey is of special interest as an external evidence of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.
