Best way to collect, store, use and mail pollen?

Hmmm :thinking: Didn’t think of that and ordered a tooth brush just for pollen.

Just dug this out from the refrigerator-

Wondering if it still might possibly be viable…

I’m seeing 20% RH on the meter… :thinking:

Try it and see… but don’t ‘bet the farm on it’

Appreciate the post.

The toothbrush thing sounded a little under powered and I saw these guys on sale at Sams :wink:

What material is the catcher? Looks better than poster board that I use.

Reflective insulation. Home depot and Lowe’s carry it. It’s like bubble wrap with foil on the outsides

how’d you get the plant thru it? While it was still young, or did it just grow thru the hole :joy:

Blue Sunshine pollen harvested! The reflective insulation was kind of a PITA due to pollen getting in the small creases around the bubbles. Otherwise it went well!

Is it safe to mail pollen this time of year, or will the heat degrade the viability or anything?
