According to different sources, the cherubim have four, six, or eight wings, and the seraphim are sometimes depicted as multi-winged, too. There's at least one source that says Lucifer had twelve wings.
And when you see the multi-winged angels in medieval art, the wings are usually fairly small.
So you
could be traditional and have angels with many small wings (although sticking with tradition they would be feathery and rainbow colored, not bee-like or dragonfly-like -- which to me suggests fairies, not angels).
