Welcome to the crazy world of keeping your own bees Richard. If I may offer some words of advice. While you could start beekeeping on your own, with only a book to refer to. It'll be a lot easier if you find a competent mentor and join your local beekeepers association.
While we can offer advice (some good, some less so) don't forget we've only your description of the problems you encounter whereas a mentor can see and guide you through the trials and tribulations.
