As I said before, I am new to this forum so what i am saying may be old
hat,but...
a few years ago i was talking to a man with a large beekeeping operation and
i told him how i stacked supers in stacks with no moth crystals.
I alternate longways-shortways etc in the stack so as to allow air flow. In
several diffent buildings, where I had a little light I have not lost a
frame of drawn comb from wax moths-and I have bunches of dark comb in the
several hundred shallow + medium supers i store.
This beekeeper seemed to have never heard of this so I am sharing it now.
The places I stored the supers in were in various building in Alabama, some
were  almost damp places.
The idea has been around for awhile i am sure(I have talked to others who
know about it) and was passed to me by Reverend Al Norton.
Anyhow, if there is one person who is not aware if this, it is a real
labor/cost saver
God Bless
