I appreciate your enthusiasm, but all you quoted is normal beekeeping 
practice and found in every decent beginners book. It read like my notes 
for the class I am teaching on Thursday.

The question still stands which is how do you boost the bees immune 
system. I can understand how to keep it intact, but not how to boost it.

I think that is actually what you are trying to say: by the non-use of 
chemicals you maintain the bee's immune system It is a common comment by 
organic beekeepers.

Happy to see you starting (I am assuming that you are a beginner and if 
incorrect, apologize) beekeeping. It is a wonderful hobby and profession 
and wish you well.
