think you are confusing the axillary bud with a pollen sac...
Though the one on the left on other side of stem does look a bit like a pollen sac. picture is all blurry, so that doesn't help. there is a 'preflower' per branch... pollen sacs lack the white hairs, so they are easy to identify. their envelope is segmented where it splits apart to expose the anthers (nanners) - another way to discern.
don't rip off an axillary bud (start of a branch), but you can pull off a preflower, slice it open, and look inside... again.. nanners vs "hair" is easy to discern.
