affinity designer First Logo Attempt

Its an app trying to save honey bees. Having fun with it.

It’s nice, but I am wondering where it would be used.
At a small scale, for example if it was an App icon, a lot of the detail would be lost.
Also, I think the ‘classic’ bee colours of yellow and black might help it to be more recognisable.
I like the hexagon motifs but could they be used more prominently, or would that be too ‘stereotypical’?
This certainly looks like it is an interesting design project.
I’m tempted to try and come up with my own version, just as a bit of an experiment.
Looking forward to seeing future iterations of this.

Have you considered having a large hexagon surrounding the whole thing?

Yellow and black seems more like wasps to me.

I am seeing the problems with this design after walking away for a day or so. Time to go back and redefine it. -- The colors are from the app

Also, this issues one of the issues with a creating  a font

@massive.art  The only thing I see that might be a real problem is that three bees are going to be rather sad when all their hard work and the subsequent honey drips right out of their assigned hexagons.  Please see the left side of the B.    Poor little fellas!!😞😢🐝

I think a great first attempt. A small tip to help you with troubleshooting: Try creating a version in black/white, especially something that translates well to stamp sizes. It is not only helpful to have it on hand for situations where you can't print/utilize full-color, but also you will also see more easily what can be simplified. You'd be surprised what limiting yourself will do for your designs as it forces us to think critically.

You could name the app “Bee happy” or even “Bee appy”

I like the colors and gradients! There could be some simplification to make it more like a logo
