The best sort of container I have found for holding and storing collected pollen thus far appears to be a 2 Oz clear (e.g. PET or something that can survive dish-washing if need be) wide-mouth, low plastic jar with relatively straight walls. (I am open to considering other options.)
There are MANY vendors for such, and, with lids, they appear to run about $0.80 a pop plus shipping for reasonable runs.
I suspect there are cheaper options, and wondered if others had shopped for such.
What are you folks using, and where have you sourced such?
I’ve used these for the last three years. I like them because I can wrap a single finger around them, and still have my index and thumb free on one hand while I manipulate the tweezers with the other hand. And they don’t take up much room in the freezer.
You can get them with different lid colors, which I use for differentiating years.
What a neat product! Thanks for sharing. I’ve been using the glass baby food jars I collected from my sister back in 1994 from my first born nephew and then in 1996 when his little brother came along. I like being able to write on them in Sharpie and being able to run them through the dishwasher. If you haven’t those available, the sample containers should be a great alternative.
