All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Inspect each frame in a Georgia hive for queen status, brood pattern, stores, and foulbrood signs. Georgia's own beekeeping rule orders any American foulbrood-positive hive burned under the Commissioner's supervision, so a frame-by-frame sign check that routes correctly the first time is the difference between one hive lost and a whole yard destroyed.
Fund it for $150. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- Smoker, hive tool, and protective gear appropriate to the operation
- A toothpick or matchstick for the ropey-larva test, used ONLY on suspect cells
- A dated hive-inspection log with frame-by-frame notes (and a camera/phone for photos where practical)
- Contact information for the state apiarist / apiary inspection program on file BEFORE inspecting
Steps
- 1. Light the smoker and open the hive calmly; work from the outside frames inward to minimize disturbance.
- 2. Assess queen-right status from eggs, young larvae, and a consistent brood pattern — a queen sighting is not required.
- 3. Score the brood pattern: solid vs spotty capped brood, proportion of empty cells within the brood area, and overall frame coverage.
- 4. Check food stores: capped honey and pollen frames present and appropriately positioned for the season.
- 5. Observe every capped-brood frame for disease SIGNS ONLY: sunken or perforated cappings, discolored or greasy-looking larvae/pupae, a foul or unusual odor.
- 6. On any suspect cell, run the ropey test: insert a toothpick into the dead larva/pupa, stir gently, and withdraw slowly — a mucoid thread stringing out roughly an inch is the classic AFB sign; record positive or negative.
- 7. Record every finding by frame, with a photo where practical; do not scrape, sample, or treat any suspect cell beyond the ropey-test observation.
- 8. Route any AFB-suspect finding to the state apiarist / apiary inspection program immediately per the decision rules, and close the hive.
What counts as done
- Queen-right status and brood-pattern quality recorded from eggs/larvae/capping evidence across the frames inspected
- Food stores (capped honey and pollen) recorded
- Every capped-brood frame observed for disease signs; any suspect cell's ropey-test result recorded
- Any positive or ambiguous foulbrood sign routed by name to the Georgia Department of Agriculture apiary program, with confirmation that no home treatment, culture, or equipment move occurred
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
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 that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1790264036277_t0nadx3","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
