I have been working to convert my entire 600 hive inventory to Russian 
bees for a few seasons now.  I would certainly not describe Russian bees 
as having a wildly different management style.  The management is the 
same as for any bee hive.  Look what it is doing, decide what you want 
it to do, and take the necessary beekeeping action.

The big difference from Italian bees?  Russian bees do not die from 
mites every 4 months!
