In the month after the worst of the pollen has landed. At my house, that's about May.
What is the best month to wash a house of pollen, dirt, etc.?
Every month?

Can I use pollen from other plants to pollynate a pumpkin flower ?
No. Pollen from a different species of plant won't work, because different species can't interbreed. If you're talking about other pumpkin (or other, very closely related) plants, then maybe, but you'd be getting a hybrid with unknown characteristics.

You can try. That's how hybrids are created. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

Reply:A bee is much better, but you can do it!
Reply:yes but be careful not to get stung by the mad bee who job you have taken
Reply:A like plant maybe but then it would be some kind of wierd hybrid. Like plants I think would be cantalope, watermelon, summer squash. Cantalope and pumpkin doesn't sound too bad but watermelon no, no, no.

Some tips/websites for pollen identification?
I am doing a project where I have to collect and identify pollen. The problem is I have no idea what flowers might have little white or yellow pollen. Is there anyone out there who knows identification techniques, or knows a website that explains how to identify?
Thanks a lot.

You'll want to search for "palynology", which is the study of pollen and spores.
choose roller blades

How is pollen count measured and how does temperature affect the rate of it in the Spring?
I noticed yesterday evening , I sneezed more than I have in a long time due to , I am guessing pollen, but the thing is I dont see any blooms out yet from anything!
So was wondering if this is pollen or not and btw, the temperature did rise to very warm readings yesterday, so how much would that affect the pollen being given off?
Thanks for your answers!
How is pollen count measured and how does temperature affect the rate of it in the Spring?
Pollen count is based upon the number of pollen particles in a litre of air. When the sun shines, pollen gets released into the air, especially from flowering grasses. Since we've had a very mild winter (hope you're not under snow as you read this) there are autumn flowering plants that have been going all winter and spring flowering plants that have got up early.
Another problem with warm weather is that things like dust mites get more active and these also cause allergic reactions.

Are there any flowers that have little pollen in them?
So I want to plants some flowers in my back yard and I really hates bees.
They scare me a lot!
I just want to know. It does sound stupid, but im just curious.
Are there any flowers that have little pollen in them?
Female flowers!
Seriously actually. There are some shrubs and trees that are male and female, and you can just get a female (like cherries). That's just for the pollen though, I'm not actually sure about whether bees would hang out on them (likely though...). You could try some obvious hummingbird flowers. Tubular flowers generally are for hummingbirds, or grasses!! Grasses are wind pollinated, so you can have some nice grasses! Get bunch grasses.
As far as planting goes though, maybe I'd work on my fear of bees.... Good luck!
Reply:i'm really scared of them too, and my husband gets hayfever from pollen... so i'll be checking in on your answers to find out what solutions others can offer.
brilliant question... i wish i had an answer for you!
Reply:Actually, honey bees are more attracted to the nectar in a flower than the pollen, the pollen is secondary concern. You can see this from the way that honey bees collect pollen. The collect it passively as it gathers on their hind legs when the visit the flower to gather nectar.
The bees, when they visit flowers are not the least bit interested in you. Honey bees will only sting in self defense. Once they sting someone, they die shortly thereafter. As long as you do not put them in a situation where they feel threatened, they will go about their business and you can go about yours.
The nectar in flowers also attract butterfly's and humming birds.
Bees are an important part of the natural world. There are more of them that there are of us. You really need to learn that they are nothing to be afraid of. Learn more about them and their role in our world and that knowledge will help you to overcome your fears.
You can also plant flowers that are more attractive to humming birds and butterfly's than honey bees. These tend to be the larger, more tubular or trumpet shaped flowers such as hyssop.

How to stop a runny nose with pollen Allergies?
Zyrtec works for me, too. You can get loratadine (generic Claritin) from your doctor, it's cheaper than Claritin. But you should get something with a decongestant in it...so Claritin-D or Zyrtec-D (if they even make that).
How to stop a runny nose with pollen Allergies?
Zyrtec works extremely well. I have indoor and outdoor allergies. I'm practically allergic to everything, and Zyrtec turned that around.
It really works, and you don't need a perscription for it anymore. It is now an over the counter drug.
Good luck :)

Reply:try Claritin and see your doctor.
Reply:Instead of relying on drugs, why not flush out these allergens before they cause an allergic reaction in your body.

Why is it important for hay fever sufferers to report the levels of pollen in the air in summer months?
it's a question i have for my science homework, and i really dont know the answer! please help!
Why is it important for hay fever sufferers to report the levels of pollen in the air in summer months?
Because the higher the pollen levels, the worse their hayfever will be. Also, if they record the pollen level when their hayfever starts, their doctor will be able to tell how bad their allergy is and put them on appropriate medication!
Reply:cuz it will make their allergies act up
