storage.

Reply:
Why? 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.
