Both the county bee inspector and my own personal testing for varroa
(visually inspecting drone larvae) showed no evidence of varroa in my
first year hive.
 
I am somewhat chemical averse, or at least prefer not to use any when
no absolutely necessary.  Is it customary to not treat a hive with
Apistan
if fairly confident the hive is not infested?
