Oligolectic: Helianthemum (Cistaceae).
Tomozei & Radchenko (2015), citing others, state that the species is oligolectic and is mainly specialized on Cistaceae spp, in particular on Helianthemum (Gogala 1999), Cistus (E. Scheuchl pers. comm. 2014), Rosmarinus officinalis (Lamiaceae; Blasco-Zumeta 2014) and Anchusa officinalis (Boraginaceae; Atanasov and Vasileva 1990).
In Israel, females have been found on Colchicum species (Colchicaceae)(Warncke 1969b).
The males of Andrena vulpecula are widely known as pollinators of different species of Orchidaceae through pseudocopulation: Ophrys lucentina in Spain; Ophrys numida in Tunisia, Sicily and south Italy; and Ophrys fusca, O. omegaifera and O. sicula (Arnold 1999, Paulus 2007).
