Re: HYB: pollen & success

A couple of folks sent me notes offlist about using stored pollen that I
think other beginners would be interested in hearing.

Both said that they had found that storing pollen in the refrigerator
during bloom season wasn't enough to keep it viable throughout the bloom
season.  To store it in the freezer for the next season, it needs to go
straight into a sealed container in the freezer after being dried for a
couple of days at room temperature.
