The beehive is a commonly used symbol dating at least to Roman times.
In medieval heraldry it was considered a symbol of industry.
In modern times, it is used in Freemasonry. In masonic lectures it is explained as a symbol of industry and co-operation[SUP],[/SUP][SUP][/SUP] and as cautioning against intellectual laziness, warning that "he that will so demean himself as not to be endeavoring to add to the common stock of knowledge and understanding, may be deemed a drone in the hive of nature, a useless member of society, and unworthy of our protection as Masons."[SUP][/SUP]
The beehive is also used with similar meaning by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons.
From Mormon usage it has become one of the State symbols of Utah.
The beehive culture within the colony consists primarily of male drones which cater to one female queen bee.
Humans will at times determine that a beehive must be destroyed in the interest of public safety or in the interest of preventing the spread of bee diseases. Black bears also destroy hives in their quest for honey.[SUP][/SUP] The U.S. state of Florida destroyed the hives of Africanized honey bees in 1999.[SUP][/SUP] The state of Arkansas has issued regulations governing the treatment of diseased beehives via burning followed by burial, fumigation using ethylene oxide or other approved gases, sterilization by treatment with lye, or by scorching.

Well, the older I get the more women see me as the father of their theoretical children. "You would make such a good dad." or "You work so well with kids." Maybe this is just a church thing, I dunno.
The other thing to consider is that I am so far from being the kind of person resourcefully, that I would want to be, in order to introduce children into the picture. I feel like it would be reckless even to be married for 5 years and then have kids.
Also, there is not a lot of women, I would want to have children with.

This is how I feel about the opposite gender and kids like duuuude you have to be so super awesome for me to even want to think about having a kid with you! Also, people are always telling me what a great parent/mom I would be.... truth is I am not even sure if I want kids... I would only want to bring another person into this world if I know for sure that I can give them a GREAT life and at this point.. I am not sure of that!
I wasn't sure I wanted kids for a long time. Then when I got to an age when it wasn't as easy that's when I thought, gee I'd like to have kids. It wasn't easy for me, it might be for others. I was 35 when I had my son and 36 when I had my daughter and some women have babies when they're in their forties.
