Will bananas on female plant give off useable pollen?

I've got some WR's and although I've kept my best pheno for a mum, one opf the others has grown 3 bananas that are starting to turn yellow. I'm not arsed about risking them pollenating the other plants as they are near to harvest.
What I would like to do is collect the pollen from the bananas (assuming there will be some) and pollenate a clone from my best pheno at some stage in the future, that way I'll have some seeds for free, and they should also be feminised if my thinking is correct.

Sooooo....does anyone know if it's possible/ useful to collect from these bananas as this is my last chance to get any pollen from them as I binned my males?
 
I wondered this also. Can you take the pods off a male and put them in an air tight container and save the pollen for later...... I haven't read that much on this and what i did read was that the pollen will only stay viable for a week or two. Maybe some with more experience will answer this for both of us......
