AHPA maintains member records, and state agriculture departments publish state apiarist contact info. A sheet that blends both, refreshed quarterly, becomes the SleekRank source. Cache duration controls how often the directory reads the sheet for updates.

Some states regulate honey under general food code without a dedicated honey house registry. The row still exists for completeness, with regulatory_class set to general food code and registered_count left empty. The page renders accurate framing instead of an empty placeholder.

Yes. Add an ahpa_members column to the source and bind a tag mapping to a count badge. Per-state pages render the membership count next to registered_count, which helps beekeepers find local AHPA connections and adds detail without inventing data.

Yes. Add a cottage_food_limit_dollars column to the source. Per-state pages render the dollar limit when the regulatory_class includes cottage food. Beekeepers scaling honey sales toward the limit see exactly how much they can sell before commercial registration kicks in.

Yes. Add a food_code_url column for the official state food code URL. Per-state pages bind a button to that URL, so readers verifying regulatory_class can confirm against the primary source instead of trusting the directory copy alone.

Some states have small-producer and large-producer tiers with different inspection schedules. A tier_breakdown_html column can carry the per-tier explanation, rendered through a tag mapping. The base page handles the federal FDA framing while tiers live per row.

Yes. When shared_use_available is true, a list field shared_facilities holds the facility names and contact links. A list mapping renders them on the page. States without shared-use facilities skip the section cleanly because the field is empty.

Cache duration is configurable. Quarterly state apiarist updates work well with a seven-day cache. Major AHPA membership refreshes can trigger an explicit clear of the SleekRank items table to force a re-read after the sheet is updated by the editorial team.
