Bumble Bee Watch community-science photo survey — Ottawa, ON.

Photograph an Ottawa-area bumble bee's face, abdomen, and thorax without handling it for Bumble Bee Watch. One of the project's own founding partner institutions runs its bumble bee research program here, so a local survey feeds the same partnership at its own source.

Offer to pay $100. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like

A gardener in Ottawa crouches beside a flowering patch, photographing a bumble bee's face and abdomen from a few inches away before it moves to the next bloom.

A description of this kind of work, not a record that it happened here.

Pay

$100 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

Multi-angle photo set: face, abdomen, thorax + Bee never handled during photography + Submitted with date, location to bumblebeewatch.org or the app + Self-proposed ID marked tentative + Pending official expert-verifier confirmation

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

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

This is photo documentation only, never handling or collection, and a bee resembling an ESA-listed species such as the rusty patched bumble bee is photographed at a distance only. A sting reaction beyond mild local swelling routes the participant to medical care immediately.

The full safety list for this job:

• A bee resembling an ESA-listed species is flagged for priority official expert review, never netted or handled to confirm identification.
• Pesticide-use signs or suspected nest disturbance route to the property owner or manager, or on agricultural sites, the local cooperative extension office.
• This packet is independent of and not affiliated with the University of Ottawa or Professor Kerr: named as the real, verified home of one of Bumble Bee Watch's own founding partner institutions, not an endorsement or partnership.

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.
