Hi All,
 
Now I'm really confused!  As a beginner I find the information regarding wax
moths confusing.  Especially since I am struggeling with what to do with my
honey supers over the winter.
 
Last winter I put them (wet) into a trash bag and left them in my garden shed.
In the spring I found the combs covered with mildew.  Members of my bee club
told me to just give them to the bees so I did.  They nerver regained their
nice white color they had before.  I had put them in a bag because I have mice
in my garden shed and didn't want them to get to the supers.  My shed is the
only place I have to store these suprers.  This year I was going to simply
stack the supers.  They sit on a solid peice of wood and I thought I would put
another peice of wood on top.  I thought this would keep the mice out.  Then I
was told that I had to protect them from wax moths and I should leave a space
between each super.  But then the mice would get in!  Now I am reading that
the wax moths really only like former brood combs and should not bother my
honey combs.  So now I am confused.
 
What is the best way to store these supers in a shed that may also have mice?
Advice would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Vickie
