Overwintering colony-loss tracking (Bee Informed Partnership methodology) — apiary / national.

Track colony losses using the Bee Informed Partnership's own denominator and season boundaries. A keeper who only knows their own dead-out count has no way to tell an ordinary year from a warning sign, because there is no single fixed 'normal' loss number: BIP's own national survey shows the honest benchmark moves every year and differs by operation size. Using the SAME at-risk denominator and season windows BIP uses turns a private hunch into a number that lines up against the published national result for the same size of operation, catching a worsening pattern before it becomes chronic.

Offer to pay $110. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like

A beekeeper counts hives in a winter apiary, tallying live and dead-out colonies on a clipboard against the same season boundaries the national survey uses.

Pay

$110 proposed

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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

Colony counts taken at season boundaries using BIP's own colony/at-risk definitions + Summer, winter, and annual loss rates calculated separately + Operation's own size band compared to BIP's current published national result + Suspected cause routed out, never self-diagnosed

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

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

Loss-rate bookkeeping and peer comparison only: never diagnose a cause of death, never select a treatment. Any suspected disease, pest, or pesticide cause routes to the state apiarist, extension apiculturist, or a diagnostic lab.

The full safety list for this job:

• A reportable disease sign found while investigating a loss (e.g. American foulbrood) routes immediately to the state apiarist / apiary inspection program per this kingdom's existing hive-inspection routing law.
• Submitting the operation's own counts to the current national survey (Auburn University / Apiary Inspectors of America, apiaryinspectors.org, since BIP restricted its own activities in Fall 2023) is optional and never required to use this packet.
• A loss number by itself is never evidence of a specific cause.
• Suspected causes route exactly as this kingdom's other apiary standards route findings.

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
