It collects pollen from quite a number of different plant groups, doesn't seem to have a specialty among them. Among those of us who spend a lot of time looking at these Andrena under microscopes, this species has a feature that often is definitive for telling it from the other large Andrena of the spring, which is a small strap like labor process. Now you know.
