You should put it out on a piece of paper in a dry and draft free room for 2 days, then you should gather the pollen into an airtight container, something like an eppendorf tube works well. Then you stick that eppendorf tube into a thermos bottle. That thermos bottle goes into your freezer. The thermos bottle is to shield the eppendorf tube from the fluctuations that occur whenever you go into your freezer, which will ruin your pollen. If you store it this way it should be good for at least 3 months at -20°C when properly dried, and without any extra measures. Best practice is whenever you need to add a vial or take out one, you should do it very quickly, and if possible without putting it back. So you are best off dividing your pollen in however many portions you need and label them properly so you can pick out the right strain quickly. There are short height wide-mouth thermos bottles available online, those are the type that I find easiest to work with. -------------------- The best things in life can be smelled on one's fingers.
