storing partly used supers

[newbie]

In order to start apiguard treatment, I have removed the 4 supers from my 3 wbc hives. I have extracted the honey from 2 supers from 1 hive. The other 2 hives had not filled their 1 x super each as one was a late nuc and the other a late swarm. some frames are drawn but empty and others are partly filled but unsealed. now my questions !

I have extracted the honey from the 2 full supers and the bees have kindly cleaned them for me to use next year...how should I store these supers ?

How do I store the partly filled frames with uncapped honey until the apiguard has finished in a few weeks, when I shall give them back to the bees. - at the moment they are in a dead fridge in the garden !

I also now have 6 brood frames filled with sealed honey (her majesty disappeared resulting in uniting 2 colonies and lots of stores). I will give these frames to the bees for winter - but how should I store them until the apiguard is done ?
At the moment they are in a brood box with sealed crown boards top and bottom, in the shed.

What about frames with foundation only ? I have put these in an empty hive but the wax moth is bound to find them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions !

In a bee ( and wasp )tight stack. The cleaned out supers may benefit from a sheet of newspaper between each one to deter moths.

The uncapped honey may ferment - I've taken five part filled frames off my hive now to try and encourage then to cap the other supers on the hive - I've put them in the freezer and I'll put them back on with the extraxted frames for them to take down to the brood (Hopefully!!)

Also - if you freeze the frames for 24hrs before putting them into the stack, and scorch the actual supers, you should kill any wax moth eggs.

once ours are all in the stack we will use sulphur strips as a belt and braces approach.. see section 4 here

I cant post the link, its on the bbka website (org.uk) leaftlet B12 - apiary hygiene

imo you've done the right thing to keep your various stores for feeding later.

Frames with foundation only..... use sellotape to seal any gaps?
