keeping honey

Post by ttthay »

I am planning on taking my supers off tomorrow (wed) but it might be a week or so before I can start extracting it. I can store the supers in my basement away from elements. Will this be ok?? Any advice is appreciated.

If they contain wax moth or SHB larva, they can do a lot of damage in a week. If you can freeze them overnight, then take them out, they will be fine.
