Used Honey Supers

[Big Apple]

After your honey has been harvested what do you with the supers? How do you keep bee moths and mice from causing damage? Thanks for the help.

I believe Sol just puts them back on a hive. I just extracted for the first time today (five gallons of yummy goodness!) and now I have to make the same choice myself. What does a wax moth look like anyway? I saw several moths come into the garage while working the honey boxes today and have never seen that kind of interest from moths before.

Yes, I believe that also.

This time of year, there are fewer flowers available and moths that eat (not all moths eat) will jump at the chance to get a taste of honey. They are usually significantly larger than wax moths.
