Oligolectic: Ornithogalum (Hyacinthaceae)(Gogala, 1999; Sedivy et al., 2008).
Banaszak & Romasenko (1998) list Asteraceae, Brassicaceae and Ranunculus (Ranunculaceae) as forage sources.
Ivanov et al (2005) state that the species is polylectic, but in the Crimea, it shows a marked preference for Onithogalum (Hyacinthaceae).
