Varroa mite alcohol-wash (or sugar-roll) colony screen — Guelph, ON.

Sample about 300 bees for a Varroa mite wash count in Guelph-area apiaries. Ontario's Varroa surveillance dashboard, built from ministry inspection data, was developed at the University of Guelph, and a keeper's own count adds a real number to that picture.

Offer to pay $175. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like

A beekeeper near Guelph lifts an open-brood frame, sets the queen aside, scoops about 300 bees into an alcohol jar, shakes it, and counts the mites that fall out.

Pay

$175 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

Sample method recorded, alcohol wash or sugar roll + Mites per 100 bees calculated, dated with colony ID + Compared to current seasonal threshold guidance + Logged against the colony's prior mite counts + Treatment decisions routed out, never made here

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 colony-level population monitoring only, and it never selects a miticide product, dose, or treatment timing. Never wash the queen: confirm she is set aside before sampling, and high-density bloom conditions raise mite and virus spread risk between operations.

The full safety list for this job:

• Treatment stays under label law plus cooperative-extension or state-apiarist guidance.
• Record high-density findings to inform the keeper's own biosecurity practice, never as a directive to other operations.
• This packet is independent of and not affiliated with the University of Guelph, the Ontario government or the dashboard authors: named as the real, verified home of published Ontario surveillance work, not an endorsement or partnership. A keeper's single count never stands in for provincial inspection.

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.
