Bob,
For the Russian beekeepers out here, could you give us a site  that lists
or discusses the management techniques used by the commercial  Russian
beekeepers?  It would be nice to compare and learn from  them.  Is there
a site where one can download your notes/slides from  your presentations
about Russian bee  management?




Are you talking about beekeeping practices in Russia or about the use of
strains of bees based on imported genetic material a few years ago?  If the
former, I made some contacts at Apimondia with people marketing Russian hive
products from the Urals and could ask them for pointers.
