This bee species is a oligolectic on various species of early flowering Liliaceae, and females collect pollen predominantly on Muscari commutatum, and to a far lesser extent on Gagea peduncularis. At the end of the flight season, they visit Ornithogalum umbellatum. Females take nectar for self-provisioning on Euphorbia apios (Euphorbiaceae)(Standfuss and Standfuss 2009)
Voeth (1989) reports that females of were observed visiting Ophrys aesculepii (Orchidaceae), presumably in the early Spring in Greece.
