Three best things you can do have been posted here lots of times and they are....
1. Read, read, read, and read some more, buy bee books, rent bee books, subscribe to ABJ and BC mags, continue to read and do searches on these forums.
2. Find a mentor, someone who can help you hands on.
3. Join a bee club.
