I have had larvae emerge in my stored supers in March or april when the
temperature starts to warm. I am not that familiar with the lifecycle of
this insect, but many moth species over winter as eggs or as pupae. In this
state, especially under cold conditions, very little oxygen is needed. The
larvae can easily chew through plastic bags. The cold will just control
them until things warm up.
