About a million queen bees are sent in the mail annually. Most of these bees are mailed to places in the United States and Canada, but some are sent to other countries. Recent developments include the crossing of selected inbred lines to produce hybrid bees, and as of 1977, the direct sale of artificially inseminated queens.

There are many good breeds of bees out there. It depends on what you want to breed for and what you like, but the regular straight breeds that are usually rasied are Italians, Carnolians, Caucasians and (recently) Russians and Harbo's.
The bees produce a lot of heat, especially as spring approaches and brood rearing begins. Currently, we are experiencing highs of about -5 to -10 C and lows of about -20C. I have about 600 hives in a 2000 square foot building with a 16 foot ceiling. Every 2 hours I run a 3000 cfm fan for 15 minutes to draw in outside air.
Can't say why bees might need salt. I have a small cattle operation near my bees and I keep a salt block for the cows use. It has included trace minerals. During the brood rearing season and after a rain, the area has so many bees around the salt block the cattle seek other parts of the pasture. I can only assume by observation that the salt block contains some elements that honeybees need.
The Michigan article really nails it too, because my deadout contained piles of dead bees in the corners of the hive, like this stated. If they're pygmies, I wonder if they're less able to scale a hive body, just take out the lower entrance.

Pollen traps vary greatly in design and positioning on the hive. All make use of one basic principle – a grid to remove the pollen pellets from the bees and a box or tray to collect them. Pollen-collecting field bees are forced to enter the hive through an opening screened with 5-mesh hardware cloth or 3/16-inch diameter perforated sheet ...
My bees are very gentle and I often open them without even a veil if I'm not going too far into them, but black suede and black fuzzy fabric will drive them completely nuts. Anything black irritates them to some extent. I made this post just to share this basic rule of beekeeping. Wear light colors if you want to get along with your bees.
