Bees are essential pollinators in the garden. Having ground-nesting wasps and mining bees in your garden is beneficial: they're predators to harmful garden pests, pollinate your plants and their underground burrows aerate the soil.
The areas of the tongue sensitive to tastes. The classical theory about the physiology of taste recognizes the existence of four fundamental tastes - sweet, salty, sour and bitter - each being perceived by specific areas of the tongue by means of gustatory receptors, also known as taste buds.
Plug your nostrils. Your taste buds only recognize six tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and savory (Umami). The rest is in the nose. If you can avoid smelling the food, you'll avoid a large part of the flavor. Pinch your nose as you eat or drink anything to neutralize a significant portion of the taste involved.
