************************
     I also store wet combs in an unheated shed, stacked as high as room
allows, (no paper between supers) with paradichlorobenzene crystals on a
piece of paper at the top, topped with an outer cover.
      I do not air out the supers (before use) any longer than it takes
to carry them to the hives and put them on.  I've had a swarm move into
a stack of equipment with with paradichlorobenzene crystals on it.
     With suburban houses all around my bee hives, I am reluctant to
leave supers for bees to clean up.
