Chris ( and everyone for that matter)
I don't want you to take this reply as an indication that you shouldn't
post any question you want to the list, you should. There are always new
answers that come up, but in this case there is a lot of good
information in the archives to augment what ever replies you may get (I
see that Colleen sent one already). Search on "storing pollen" or
"freezing pollen" (one at a time and including the quotes) and go from there.
