extracted comb should be stored wet with remaining honey as it keeps better

I don't know about fermented honey, but the main reason that I always store
dry supers is that wax moths are a terrible problem in this area (southeastern
Michigan, USA) . They will be into wet supers before cold weather and make a
mess out of them, but will not touch dry supers which have also been kept free
of brood.
