Hello, welcome to the Bore You to Sleep podcast, the podcast that will hopefully help you get to sleep.

I am going to read an open source book, one that is not particularly interesting, but one that is

hopefully boring enough to get you to sleep.

Tonight's reading comes from Bekeeping by the Times BeMaster, published in 1864.

This book looks at the art of beekeeping in the mid-1800s.

My name is Teddy, and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest.

Sleep is so important, and my mission is to help you get the rest that you need. The podcast is designed to play in the background while you slowly fall asleep.

Thank you to everyone who shared their words of gratitude with me during the week.

Firstly, I'd like to send a huge thank you to new Patreon, Tony Hernandez.

Thank you for supporting the podcast with a monthly financial contribution.

It is the greatest compliment.

Thank you also to Jacqueline for your lovely message through the website.

I'm glad the podcast is helping you get the rest that you need,

especially considering you have to deal with noise from the highway.

In the meantime, lie back, relax and enjoy the readings.

Beekeeping by The Times, Be Master. His work is not a speculative or philosophical treatise on bees. Its main interest consists in its usefulness,

and its author's greatest reward will be the greatest measure of his success in promoting among cottages and others a means of paying their rent, at once interesting,

civilising, and remunerative.
