Hi Sarah,
I recommend that you take a day  (or some hours) off and take a walk to collect pollen yourself and simply embed them in your preferred mounting medium for fluorescent specimens. I promise that you'll have fun and gonna find spiky pollen among other nice structures. If you know a beekeeper don't dare asking for pollen, they collect pollen to determine the bee crop and have amazing collections.
It took me one hour to get the specimens I work with 'til today ;-)

Why spend money if you can get it for free (including a nice walk in the sunshine)
Cheers,
Christian
