Notes. Holarctic. Social ground-nester, but displays polyethism, reverting to solitary behavior at high latitudes and altitude ( Eickwort et al. 1996 ; Field et al. 2010 ; Potts & Willmer 1997 ). The nesting of this widespread species has been documented across North America ( Atwood 1933 ; Eickwort et al. 1996 ; Hicks 1926 ; Knerer & Atwood 1962 ; Soucy 2002 ; Yanega 1988 ).
