Just checked my pile of supers and find that quite a lot of the frames are covered in mould. Black mould on the wood and green furry mould on the wax.

Have I missed something I should have done?
What do I do now?

The bees will normally clean off the mould before they store any honey in them.

Too moist, lack of ventilation.
If mold has ruined the comb and wax, bees bite it away and draw new cells.
