Hi all

I have not yet tried this myself, but it seems a good idea...

First pickle the pollen in liquid honey, then warm some Oilseed Rape
(Canola) honey that has crystallised, until it becomes just plastic, then
mechanically mix the two together without incorporating any air. This will
appear brighter due to the reflectivity of the crystals and the pollen will
remain in suspension. The mechanical stirring will stop solidification as it
produces a thixotropic matrix.
