On Friday’s show: The pandemic had devastating effects on the global economy in 2020 as things shut down. So, why was 2021 so much better for Houston’s transactions with the rest of the world? A new report from the Greater Houston Partnership takes a closer look.

Also this hour: We learn about some plans to restore natural prairie and grasslands around town and the benefits that could ensue.

Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And we learn how much bees have influenced human design and construction as higlighted in a new exhibition called The Architecture of Bees.
