If you do it the wrong way you would destroy the pollen because you would get condensation on the inside of the tube (I think??)
I'm not sure whether it was about thawing inside the fridge instead of outside the fridge, or remembering to take the cap of the tube...?

As long as I dry the pollen before it goes in the tube I have had no trouble with frozen pollen. Granted it is not nearly as humid here. If I remember the post correctly they problem is that if you take a cold tube into the humidity and open it up immediately, condensation can form when the humid air hits the cold inside of the tube. The solution is to let the tube come to temp before opening.
