[4] A. prunorum generally prefer the pollen derived from Rosaceae plants but will pollinate fruit trees if given the opportunity.

[1] However, these findings may be unreliable as Andrena is not readily identifiable, so the isolation of A. prunorum specifically has been a vexing challenge for researchers.

After coating the chamber with a waxy substance, the female bee begins to collect pollen and nectar which are made into a ball about 6–8 mm across.

[7] Females live much longer lifespans from three to five years and display more complex behavior in maintenance and mating patterns.

To build nests, females display the ability to conceal burrows within vegetation while remaining a consistent distance apart from neighboring bees.
