For neps i might be able to help....This is all base on what i do and might not be the best way of cos anyway what i do is..

1st. Get a brush(paintbrush) and get a small plastic container or maybe those ziplock bags..

2nd. Brush on those bulb thingy where the pollen is downwards (plastic container must be below the flower so it can catch the falling pollen)

And yea thats about it...Just collect daily as the flower opens from the bottom to the top....Pollen which are ready to be collected usually look fuzzy..
Well i suck at explaining :)
