How do you know if a giraffe is a male or a female?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While this question has nothing to do with fish and should be elsewhere I can answer you. The Okapi is related to the Giraffe and is the same as most other mammals having external genital organs just like you and I do. The males have the normal Testes in a Scrotum and a Penis in its sheath under the body and between the animals legs. The female has a Vulva in close proximity to its Anus. So, the way to tell the difference is simply to look.

What eats honey bees?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bees eat honey.

Bees ingest the nectar of plants and flowers only to regurgitate it (after it has mixed with enzymes in the bees stomach) as honey.

The honey is placed into cells and capped with wax. In order for bees to survive the winter they have to have sufficient honey stored in the hive, because that is their food. Bees will also eat sugar syrup (thick sugar water).

They do also eat pollen, but its not a main food source and is actually mixed with honey and mostly used for royal jelly that the larva eat.
Worker bees eat pollen and honey. The queen bee eats royal jelly.

Asked by Wiki User

In the wild Katydids will normally eat the leaves from willow, rosewood and citrus trees.

They are mostly herbivorous, so will consume most foliage, including flower petals, stems, fruit from trees, crops, and even weeds. They may also eat nectar and pollen at times too.
