The hosts are difficult.

I have identified two species Andrena flavipes is common. Occasionally, I have identified (not without difficulty) Andrena dorsata but none are that close to the bee-flies. Except on one occasion they were. Andrena flavipes and Nomada fucata were easier to match locations.

The association of B. discolor with Ground Ivy was correlated. Possibly also B. major.
