[3] Leioproctus pango is a ground-nesting bee plays a crucial role as a key pollinator for certain native plants, often exhibiting specific flower visitation patterns.

Its nesting and foraging behaviors are essential for the pollination of a variety of plant species, contributing to the health of local ecosystems.

Their nests mix pollen and nectar, shaping into a ball that sits in the base of the waterproof cell,[4] which serve as food for the larva after the female lays an egg.

This preference has extended to introduced Lucerne (Medicago sativa) and white clover (Trifolium repens).

It has also shown the ability to collect pollen from a wide range of different plant families, the most extreme example of which is the kiwi fruit.
