If you want to save some for long term here is what I do.
Go to the grocery store and get one of these,
or you can get them on ebay.
The pump comes with three bags.
Get a jar,
a thumb tack, to poke a hole in the lid,
some glue,
and an applicator stick.
Cut the blue valve from the ziplock bag,
and apply some glue to the blue circle.
Stick the plastic valve to the hole you made in the lid,
with the thumb tack and let it dry.
After the glue is dry,
put the pollen in the jar,
and pull a vacuum with the pump.
Works great and I just opened some vacuum packed afghan
that is 6 months old and still fresh. EARL'
