How To Store And Protect Drawn Comb And Honey Supers

How we store and protect our drawn comb and honey supers when they are not on an active hive and being protected by bees. When not protected by bees, drawn comb can quickly be demolished by Hive Beetles and especially Wax Moths, but there is an easy and efficient way to protect those combs through the Fall and Winter until needed again the following Spring.

Chilton Bee Company sells nucs, complete hives, mated queens, queen cells, honey, creamed honey, honey straws, lip balm, lotion, body butter, soap, candles and wax melts
