There are people promoting the use of pheromones (AKA Bee Boost), probiotics, and whatever else to restore, remediate, or stimulate bee colonies. My question for you is: do you regard these as "treatments" and therefore, inherently a sort of interference, or are they OK because they promote health rather than attempt to control some imbalance (such as parasites)?
