I have not seen difference in behaviour between bees in south vs northen 
Finland.

Diffreences in climate  are about as big as in Sweden.

I have also had some A.m.m. that originated from Sweden.

Some were wery swarmy, and a bit restless compared to my italians and 
buckfasts, but not much more aggressive.

Feral colonies survive in both countries, but not for long due to varroa.
Without varroa  some went on for years, but during extremely bad years almost 
all died.
