Disease and pest control measures would be considered an important factor, but not an intervention by this definition, as it might prolong the lifespan of the colony, but it would still be the same colony, as opposed to requeening or adding brood from another colony. 



Trying to understand your question a bit,  how do you factor in swarm/supercedure in say wild colonies where you don't know for sure what is going on??
