Well I don't know about all that, but I do consider the Bee or Wasp to be indicative of something somewhat STO for lack of a better word. Bees, Wasps and Hornets all fall into a similar category of matriarchal insects that has a certain personality profile that I identify with. For me, the Bee or Wasp is the ultimate warrior, peaceful when left alone, but attacks when disturbed.
Wasps tend to make many small nests, so I saw this as a species type of a non centralized network, they are social and hard working.
There is also the story once told to my by my Aikido sensei about bees. He always said that a good martial artist must be like a bee. He used the example of the bee to explain fearless commitment and how it affects others. A grown man, many many times the size of a bee or wasp, will flail and run in fear from this tiny insect, even knowing that though it's sting is painful, it is not fatal, for most. He will do this because he knows that the bee will sting him. He knows subconsciously that the bee or wasp knows that it will die to sting him, and that is terrifying. Anything that does not fear death frightens those who do.
Furthermore, there is the old Ali saying, Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
Then there is the saying that "The flapping of the wings of a butterfly in south america can cause a tornado in kansas" or some such.
Also, we always look at animals like dogs and cats but never insects as models for behaviour, I have attempted in my small way to correct this. As insects are inherently more moral and hard working. I also thought that the representation of the group was best symbolized by the joining of a wasp and a butterfly, that it symbolized philosophical and esoteric concepts of stinging, shocks, commitment, metamorphosis, collective behaviour and on and on and on.
I elected to use a wasp for several reasons, firstly it was more convient as I found better references for wasps that I did for bees. Secondly, I prefer wasps because they have a more aggressive and proactive disposition, and a more aggressive reputations. The three parts of the wasp are more clearly delineated, and lines would be less likely to be lost. The three sections of the wasp represent the motor, emotional, and intellectual separations more clearly.
It is at this point, we depart from what was originally in my mind when creating the logo. I have sense found many more deeper meanings behind the bee that were not consciously present during its creation, on a further note, I don't think it looks like a flying ant at all...Even if it did, it would keep alot of its symbology.
