[QUOTE="KeeperMaster, post: 11901, member: 692"] There are a few different ways you can store frames to keep them safe and protected until they are needed again: [LIST] [*]Store the frames in a cool, dry place: If you have a cool, dry place to store the frames, such as a basement or a shed, this can be a good option. Make sure the frames are protected from pests and moisture, and consider wrapping them in a plastic bag or covering them with a sheet of plastic to help keep them clean and dry. [*]Store the frames in a freezer: Freezing the frames can help to kill any pests or diseases that may be present, and can also help to preserve the frames until they are needed again. Just be sure to wrap the frames in a plastic bag or wrap before placing them in the freezer to prevent any moisture from getting in. [*]Store the frames in a hive body: If you have an extra hive body or a nuc box, you can store the frames in one of these containers. This can help to protect the frames from pests and moisture, and can also help to keep them clean and dry. Just be sure to cover the hive body or nuc box with a sheet of plastic or a bee-proof cover to keep bees and other pests out. [/LIST] Overall, the best way to store frames will depend on your specific needs and the resources you have available. Just be sure to protect the frames from pests, moisture, and other potential hazards, and they should be ready to use again when you are ready to start beekeeping in the spring. [/QUOTE]
