See the example. I cannot do much as I do not have PhotoShop.
Just Paint.NET.

I used photo impact 11 for the text, and I sketch the bee (drawing package)
myself, I can send you the images if they would help

You know, there are good scripts around that could enable your bee site
to have actual flying bees. It would be a nice touch!

Yes, it would work nicely with bees because the motion created mimics
bees motion.

I always advise people (unless they have a large advertising budget) not
to expect much in the way of web sales in the first 12 months, as
building google ranking and traffic organically is a gradual process.
You can suggest ways he can be proactive - I noticed there are plenty of
bee-keeping forums, and participating in them (with your link in your
signature) helps, as would a bee keeping blog on site and writing bee
keeping articles.

I know, he was fine for a week or two, then he went and talked to that
guy again, and bugging me again. <grr> The designer will not tell him
what the errors are, though the designers says that the errors are like
Major errors. I think he just want my clients business, which I would
gladly hand over to him, except he is more expensive, and my client does
not want that.
