We were taught that leaving them wet if stored was better, and to also freeze first and then stack, taping any open cracks up. Bees in spring would then take to them faster and initiate better brooding up when placed back upon. But then now, we don't store supers anymore, having changed long time practices, and gone to clean sustainable beekeeping using small cell. Respectfully submitted, Dee A.
