Hello Lloyd,
In my previous profession, Industrial Hygiene and Environmental Health, I
used a meter for determining moisture in various objects. It has two metal
probes that you touch to whatever you want to take a reading on. Contact
any large university and ask to speak to their Safety Officer to find out
more information about such devices. Another device is used for testing the
moisture in the soil. This may be better and cheaper. Check with a
professional garden supply or nursery.
I like the idea of setting some sort of standard for pollen moisture.
Please let us all know what you find out.

If what you're doing seems too hard...,
You're probably doing it wrong. :-)
