I do dry them normally overnight/24 hours. But to extend the pollen's viability, I try to keep it in the refrigerator. To prevent moisture build up in there, I use the drying capsules from pill bottles. Be sure when you take them out, let the container warm up a bit before opening it (otherwise you'll get condensation.)
