Perhaps because, in this case at least, the 'myth' is stated as fact in a
highly recommended
text "The Beekeepers Handbook" 1998 edition, page 116.  So, if this is a
myth and there are no granulation problems with storing wet combs, then my
next question is: what is the effect of storing wet combs with PDB?  Here in
Missouri where it can stay fairly warm until early December, (especially
this year!) the worms would do much damage between July and the onset of
cold weather.
