Nests are preferably in slightly sloping, more or less south-exposed places that are not or only sparsely overgrown and where the soil is at least somewhat solidified (e.g. by step, moss, grass roots).

In the vicinity of the nesting site, conifers, especially pines (Pinus sylvestris) and deciduous trees, must grow as suppliers of building material.

All the pollen sources mentioned except Ononis and Securigera also offer the females nectar, which is abundantly added to the larval provisions.

Leaves from birch (Betula), hawthorn (Crataegus), willowherb (Epilobium), beech (Fagus sylvatica), English oak (Quercus robur), roses (Rosa) or blackberries (Rubus fruticosus) are used.

[5] From Latin "byssina" = "made of the finest linen, calico, from batiste" (Greek foreign word).
