Hello all!

I am not sure how many of you save pollen in the freezer for later use, but I thought I would share some pics of how I am currently saving my pollen in the freezer for later use. Hopefully some of your will find this useful!

Thanks for looking!

Pic 1: Plastic ammo box that holds 100 ammo cartridges up to size 44 magnum. Can be purchased for around $4 at a shooting supplies store.

Pic 3: 2.0ml centrifuge tube. These are approximately 1 1/2" long by 3/8" in diameter. I think I was able to get 1,000 of these for under $15 on Ebay last year. Labelled with masking tape and sharpie.

Pic 5: Box of pollen with lid closed. Tubes fit nice and do not fall loose when container is turned upside down.
