Title: DIY Winter (or anytime) Frame Storage
Post by: Slowmodem on March 01, 2014, 06:56:55 pm

I received a disc of pictures of the past year in beekeeping from our local association.  Several of the pictures were of a member's garage and the rack that was built to keep the frames/comb when not in use.  Seeing as how wax moths dislike openness and light, this seems like a good idea.  I am going to look into this in one of the sheds where I store all my stuff.

Disgraceful garage!!!  hehe

   Wax moths here are less concerned with light and airflow apparently..   A frame of empty comb on top of my kitchen cabinets, for show, developed a terrible case of wax moth AFTER it had been frozen, and then placed on the cabinet as a decoration piece...   stupid wax moths!
