prior to extraction i normally store supers in the clean room in the house away from mice and ants but slightly worried about wax moth etc and first time in a while i have had spring honey to extract and it might be a while til i can extract ... have cut the comb out from the foundationless frames but still got frames that need to be extracted.
my mate helps with his extractor but i like to go with a 20 frames or more to make the job more efficient and he might not be ready for a few weeks.
I guess I could store the frames in the freezer (have a chest freezer with some space) or could I put the cleared supers on top of the crownboard with a small hole in so the bees can keep the wax moth at bay ?
how do you folks handle this situation ?
wrong answers include "buy your own extractor you tight git" lol
