What you just described is hive manipulation; “treatment free” is no chemicals. According to Webster’s dictionary:
the use of a chemical, physical, or biological agent to preserve or give particular properties to something.

a session of medical care or the administration of a dose of medicine.
"the patient was given repeated treatments as required"

and the list goes on..
