Men to the rescue.....

I just got off the phone with a grower who will remain unnamed (although he
is a state record holder) who says that he refrigerates his male pollen in
little plastic containers - the type you might keep a fishing lure in - he
says that the pollen will keep for up to a month when refrigerated this way
- but only for a day or so if it is left on the flower - at pollination time
he uses a modified qtip to apply the pollen...  Who knows if it works?  It
could save you from the drought when the males have come and there are no
females.....

You're not alone.  I haven't polinated any yet.  Either my females are open,

or my males are open.  Never together.  This week it's been just females.  
Where's a man whey you need one?
