If you move them out of freezer temp to a high RH environment where condensation occurs, they will mold. Consider 'tempering' them by moving them from frozen to cold storage to room temp in the fall (where RH's are lower), for example.

The CO2 method worked wonderfully. Fumigated four bags and no recurrence of moth or worms. The beans have been in a cold storage warehouse since though and I am getting concerned about freezer burn or some other damage to them. Has this damage been an issue with anyone using cold storage? I wrapped the pallets in a lot of layers of pallet wrap but it is far from perfectly sealed. I am tempted to move them back to the workshop where the temp is a consistent 60-63F and keep them there...or am I being overly concerned about freezer damage that is not happening?

You don't say how cold 'cold storage' is, but if you've keep them at 50F, they'll keep that way for years

Sorry, I meant a commercial cold storage freezer. Not sure if it is -20C or -30C. I suspect -20, hence my concern about freezer burn.

No idea mate, i've never done that. If you're able to vacuum seal them, they should last indefinitely.
