My thinking is that honey supers will be less susceptible to SHB attacks in open storage than those supers that have frames containing bee bread and/or have been previously occupied by bee brood (pupal skins).  The honey supers won't have a source of protein for SHB larvae but the frames of bee bread and cast off larval skins would contain a source of protein.  


You will be disappointed.  The love honey supers fine....  I haven’t tried cross stacking to see if that reduces it,  but am very careful about how they are stacked on concrete and over drip trays.  Larva fall out for about a week after extraction. Going to use a refer this season.
