The Steading Codex · Command Sheets
Every hive on schedule. Every treatment on time.
Per-hive inspections, a mite radar, and what the honey's worth.
Google Sheets + Excel · yours forever · printable pack included
Without it
Notes scattered across notebooks and phone photos — and by mid-season you can't remember which hive you haven't opened or whose mites were creeping up.
With the radar
Log each inspection; the sheet flags the overdue hive, the mite count crossing threshold, and totals the honey and wax each colony earned.
The radar — what it works out for you

How it works
Make your copy
One click drops a private copy into your own Google Drive — yours to keep and edit.
Type what you have
You only ever fill the white cells. Everything grey fills itself.
Read the dashboard
The money and the radar are already there. You read it; you don't build it.
You will never touch a formula.
What's inside
The Hive Ledger Sheet
Works in Google Sheets & Excel — nothing to install.
It pairs with the book
The sheet keeps the schedule. The journal keeps the hive.
Questions
Is it a subscription?
No — one payment, and it's yours forever. You get your own private copy in your own Google Drive; nothing recurring, nothing to renew.
Do I need to know Excel or spreadsheets?
No. You type in the white cells — name, quantity, a date — and the dashboard fills itself. There are no formulas to touch, ever.
Google Sheets or Excel?
Both. It's built for free Google Sheets (recommended — it works on iPad, phone, or computer) and it opens in Excel too.
Can I print it?
Yes — a printable pack (PDF) is included with every purchase. Print any sheet at home, as many times as you like.
What's your refund policy?
Digital editions are final sale once the copy has been accessed. If a file is faulty or you were charged in error, email us within 14 days and we'll make it right.
