Treatment free is definitely possible, but you need to be prepared for high loss rates in the first few years, and need to have a plan for actively replacing lost colonies each spring (ie by making splits) to speed up the natural selection pressure on your bees.

.......... you are referring to is the langstroth style hive? Im not sure how this doesn't fit into organic beekeeping.
.......... for some people it is more about having bees and getting pollination.
