Hi all,
 
I looked in the archives and found no answer to my question so I guess it
isn't a newbie question. :-)
 
What is the best way to store *unused* foundation until next season?  I
have a lot of cut comb foundation and a fair amount of brood foundation.
I am concerned that over the coming months bugs will find it make it
unusable come next Spring.
 
I have seen moth larva chew through plastic food bags to get at food in my
closets.  I don't trust that wrapping the foundation plastic will stop the
little critters.  Suggestions?
