Relationships:

This small spring Andrena is a fan of mustards, particularly the spring mustards that are native and occur in wooded and semi-shaded areas in the spring, often very early in the spring. It certainly is around, but you do not to find it in someone's lawn; you have to go to the less weedy mustard plants in native habitats. (S. Droege, pers. comm.)

There are 24 records in the project database.
