If you vacuum seal and freeze pollen, will it remain viable? If so, for how long?

Agreed and yet, just for fun, since my FPs are a-bloomin' left and right, I'll be a rebel and pollinate one maybe tomorrow now with a male I took the flower off of and had in a tulip forcing glass to see the pollen actually awaiting usage this morning, without a flower around it all night.
Boioioing!!!
(The more the 'oi's, the longer the spring, lol);
I figgered the vulnerable stamen and its pollen would freeze quickly, so......we'll see. No expectations, butt hey!
Now, watch - there'll be no more feems opening, lol---eg
