Storing foundation on frames

[Ricky N]

How do I store my unused foundation on frames for the winter

Do you have spare boxes? I have a couple of boxes with foundation frames in them.

I was going to get some really useful boxes from wickes and store them inside.
Do they need wrapping up in plastic bags ?

No - they'll be fine as they are

I should have been more clear, mine are in spare boxes ie deep or shallow
National boxes.

And don't listen to the nonsense you'll hear shortly about playing a hairdryer over them before using them next year to 'revive' the foundation. It's nonsense.
Had a stack of over a dozen boxes (deeps and shallow) left outside all winter with just a spare roof over them, bees were in there and drawing them out like a shot this spring. Even had stored foundation years old and the bees have treated it the same as 'fresh'
