No, that is a mis-characterization of my approach. I advocate IPM. The *goal* is no treatments; the reality is: you do what you have to, to keep the bees alive. In order to keep bees without treatments, I think you have to have them in an isolated area. There are several hundred commercially run colonies within the flight range of my apiary. I can't keep bees in this location without treating for mites. That much is obvious
