Rotate and replace aged nesting units.

The removable-unit nesting frame this community garden installed two seasons ago is due for its first rotation, and several of the paper-tube units show the mold staining and darkened tube ends that mark two full nesting cycles. Pulling those units by hand, bagging and disposing of them rather than wiping them out and putting them back, and loading the frame with fresh tubes is what keeps this structure from becoming the same disease trap a fixed, never-replaced bee-hotel block turns into.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

before/after photos + retired-vs-retained confirmation + disposal confirmation + rotation date recorded + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the frame's install or last-rotation date from records and identify which loaded units have reached roughly two nesting seasons in place, or show visible mold, staining, or parasite damage regardless of age; photograph the loaded frame as found.
2. 2. Remove the identified units from the frame by hand -- no tools needed, confirming the removable design -- and set aside intact, still-active-looking units (recently sealed, unblemished tube ends) that have not yet completed a full cycle.
3. 3. Retire the aged or damaged units by sealing them in a bag and disposing of them away from the site, rather than wiping them clean and reloading them -- the fungal spores and mite eggs sealed inside old tunnels survive a surface wipe.
4. 4. Load the frame with fresh, unused nesting units, leaving any still-active retained units from step 2 in place alongside them.
5. 5. Record the rotation date and the number of units retired versus retained, and photograph the finished, freshly loaded frame from the matching before vantage.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the loaded frame with unit ages/condition noted
• Confirmation of which units were retired (aged or damaged) versus retained (still active)
• After photo of the freshly loaded frame
• Confirmation retired units were bagged and disposed of, not wiped and reused
• Rotation date recorded for the next cycle

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
