Storing Wax Sheets

[madasafish]

Just make sure it's mouse or rat free - they just love nibbling bees wax and will go though a cardboard box (or even a polythenr box !) if they decide there is something in there worth having ....

Something more appetising on top of a chair- bird food. And under the chair- mousetraps...

Not sure about upright model door seals being rodent proof but chest models are favourites for storing horse feed in stables.

I have part built frames for my hive, my bees won't arrive until sometime in June. I read that it's best not to put the wired wax foundation in too early as it may sag, so I need to store the wax foundation until that time. I have cut some plywood to sandwich the foundation for storage to keep it flat, does anyone know the best environment to store it in, room temp, in the shed...... I am not sure what keeps it in the best condition. Or maybe it just doesn't matter.
Thanks Nick

Under the bed in the wrapper it came in?
