Saving Pollen

Hi all, i recieved a wonderful cattleya today (there are photo's on another thread) and im in love with the colour of the flower (mainly because it isn't pink) and i was just wondering how to save pollen from orchids?

I tried googling it but all it resulted in was saving marajuana pollen

Take from fresh flower, put it in some al-foil and chuck it in the fridge. Simple. Keeps for a few months like that.
