History of Symbols
The beehive symbol was picked because of its' worker bee significance. Industry is part of our heritage as Latter-day Saints.
Mia maid would have come from MIA or Mutual Improvement association + maid so I would think that it represents service.
I remember leaders talking about the Laurel symbol when I was young, it comes from the Greek or Romans' use of laurels and it means excellence.

Value Colors - From Sister Janet Wilcox of the General Board
DIVINE NATURE - Blue - Reminds us of the sky, heaven and where we came from. We are of divine parents.
INDIVIDUAL WORTH - Red - Reminds us of the blood of Christ. The Savior believed that there wasn't any price too high to pay for us. He loved us so much that He willingly paid for us with His blood and His own life. He
bled from every pore for us. He paid the infinite price. We are of great worth to the Lord and we should be to ourselves as well.
KNOWLEDGE - Green - Reminds us of spring time when things are starting to grow. We too, should keep growing and learning.
CHOICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY - Amber - The caution on a stoplight. We too, have choices to make and we need to pray to make the correct choices. We need to use caution in making choices.
GOOD WORKS - Yellow - Sunshine. When we give service it makes us feel warm all over just as the sun makes us feel warm. We are always blessed by the service we give.
INTEGRITY - Purple - Royal color. The dye was very hard to come by in past ages and was costly to produce so only people of royal birth (Kings and Queens) could afford to wear the cloth of this color. It came to represent
royalty. We are of royal birth... daughters of Heavenly Father. Someday, if we live worthily, we will be princesses and Queens. We must have integrity to do that. If we have integrity we have all the other values as well.
