Yes, so long as they are near peak ripeness. They are at or near peak ripeness once they are fully formed. When you want to use the pollen, cut that calyxes open with a razor and extract/apply the pollen with a Q-tip. Note that I have not done this myself but I have seen this applied by someone else.
