I know I do not have the experience most people here have. What I lack in experience I more than make up for in common sense. I believe in the non-treatment to a point. I think it's important that bee's be allowed to develop resistances to diseases in their environment naturally.
What I don't agree with is the fanaticism by which some people would allow complete die outs to occur without any intervention. It's not practical, it's cruel, and it's expensive. I would be willing to try natural treatments and in severe cases, treatments like MAQ's, which have so far been proven not to be detrimental to the bees and their larvae.
