Storing frames with foundation

[Vanterrier]

Newbie question... whats the best way to store frames that have foundation fitted? Probably not needed now until next year.

In a box commensurate with the size of frame or upright on a clean dry shelf somewhere

mine just hang up in a rack in the shed or in an empty brood box sat on a board with a roof on sat in a stack outside

Thanks, so I dont need to wrap them or dismantle them but keep them away from mice and wax moths?
I have a fully made up but empty hive ( ) in my apiary* so presumably they will be ok in there over winter as long as they are properly sealed? (Shed space is premium)

*I do have one hive with the swarm I caught early June...

Thanks for your advice

Wax moth shouldn't bother it as there are no old brood cells

No - waxmoth won't be interested in sheets of foundation, but yes, try and keep the hive rodent proof.
