I just spent 2 glorious weeks in the Bay Area and came home with lots of pollen from my mother's yellow Brug — no name, but it looks like Dr. Seuss. How do I store the pollen over winter for use next spring? Right now the stamen are still in the pill bottle with the pollen. Do I remove the stamen?

There is still some pollen attached to the stamen. Does that imply that the attached pollen is not mature?
