Fecha de emisión: Feb 24, 1982

"Jute Plastic." Bangladesh is the world's chief supplier of jute fibre for use in the manufacture of twine, burlap, tarpaulin and carpet-backing. This item shows how jute is harvested and processed for export, and how synthetic fibres are now threatening the economy of Bangladesh which depends on jute production for much of its income. "Honeybees." The life and social order of a honeybee colony - the role of drone, queen and worker bees, their feeding and how they communicate. "Hildebrand." A follow-up to last season's report on Dr Joel Hildebrand of the University of California at Berkeley, who in Dec. 1981 celebrated his 100th birthday at his office on the campus where he is still very active in teaching and research.
