Didn't say was Fraudulent. Maybe your just projecting. I said it's origins were in a Freemason and his ideas.
"BEHIND THE MASONIC SYMBOL: THE BEEHIVE
"The rites of Ohio Freemasonry are filled with imagery, characters, and symbols designed to translate the core teachings and values of our fraternity to brethren. While all harbor their unique significance, some enjoy a greater place of prominence in Masonic discussion, lecture, and philosophy. Take, for instance, the Beehive, a symbol that maintains a position in the Master Mason degree yet receives little attention in the whole of Masonic ritual. Despite its inconspicuous place in the craft, the Beehive is a rich, ancient symbol worthy of examination."
Thanks for clarifying; I thought you were implying it had been set up by a masonic lodge, in the same way that Islam was allegedly started by the Vatican.
It's also a common symbol for Mormonism, used within the church as a symbol for productivity, and a beehive is on the state flag of Utah.
You may need to look at Joesph Smith's background / lodge ?
I'm well aware of the accusations that Mormonism is a fraudulent religion, but I hadn't heard of organized/institutional sponsorship. Please share.
