>I would like to hear from someone who has stored comb and protected
it from wax moths by letting light deter the moth larvae. (Stacking them
so that light can get in top and bottom of stack)

Tim, I regularly keep brood comb free from wax moths by leaving it outside,
uncovered, so that light can freely get into the top.  I ve never had a
problem with wax moths and have stored deeps with brood comb up to four high
in this manner.  Rain and thunderstorms don t harm the combs.
However, I only do this during spring, summer and fall.  If I want to keep
the combs over winter I treat, as has been described, with para crystals and
protect from mice.  I only put the crystals on once, when I bring the combs
in, in the fall.  In the spring I get the combs outside soon enough (May in
this climate in upstate NY) so that moths don t become a problem.
