John;
I am a rookie on the internet but have designed my own label.  I found a
nice pagkage of wildflower seeds in a seed store, bought the package and
took the label to the printer.  The printer then used a photocopy process
to add four colours and this formed the background to my label.  Other
tips are to avoid real bees (use artistic or comic bees) to avoid scaring
the purchaser, avoid the typical wooden super style beehive as beehives  may
look like coffins to some, keep the label bright and yet clean looking,
and use words like "natural, pure, 100%, etc.  Hope this helps.
