Yes, that's exactly what I was saying/thinking.  I assumed that that was 
an almost universally accepted truth, and that basically every commercial 
beekeeper at least knew that that was an option.  Was I mistaken in that 
assumption?  (To be technically precise, the only two exceptions I can 
think to make is if honey combs are stored together with former brood 
combs, then the honey combs may go down with the brood combs, and if 
there's pollen in the honey combs, they may be susceptible then, too.)  I 
generally store my supers (dry, not sticky) stacked up tight in a storage 
building that stays pretty much at outdoor temperatures (here in the North 
Carolina foothills) from mid-August to late April.  Some surplus supers 
have been stored the same way year round.  I do separate out frames with 
very much pollen in them.  I've really never had any trouble at all doing 
things this way.  I know other sideline and full-time beekeepers that do 
the same.  It seemed to me like a pretty wide-spread and well accepted 
practice.
