If they're not in frames, just store in a cool dry place so they don't melt. Wax moths rarely bother new foundation.If thy are drawn and in frames, store in freezer, if you have room. If not, leave in hive in cool dry place, duct tape all openings after adding paradichlorobenzene cyrstals ,NEVER naphthalene (moth balls or crystals. You can buy paradichlobenzene toilet blocks at Walmart but read the label and make sure that's all they contain. Perfume is OK. Air for several days before using.
