A Lichfield couple are hoping their new honey-infused gin will create a buzz in the run up to Christmas.

A bottle of The Apiarist gin

Keen beekeepers Alex and Natalie Conti created The Apiarist tipple after being left with a surplus of honey.

The couple had extended their apiary as part of a lockdown project, meaning their bees were more productive.

So after being left with a few kilograms of additional honey, they decided to work with Greywood Distillery to create the new tipple.

Alex said:

> “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have developed a gin that is infused with our own raw honey, bringing the unique character of that golden nectar into a more ‘adult’ setting.  
>  
> “As our bees forage around the Lichfield countryside, we are proud to know that some of that goodness is going towards making the perfect gin and tonic.  
>  
> “We’ve been buying Greywood Distillery’s Fifth Spire gin for years, so rather than setting up our own distillery at home, we got in touch with them.  
>  
> “They were really excited to create something new and different using our honey, and we’re extremely happy to have brought this to market together.”  
>  
> Alex Conti

The Lichfield based couple usually run a business that specialises in making travel arrangements for international art institutions, but due to the coronavirus travel restrictions, the company is undergoing a brief hiatus in its operations. 

Natalie said:

> “Having run our business for a decade, working together isn’t a new concept at all.  
>  
> “We both usually travel a lot, but then COVID-19 happened. It’s been a blessing to be able to work on something new and exciting whilst spending more time with the children and it’s provided a positive distraction for us as a family.  
>  
> “The whole experience has been a great way to teach the kids about nature – we’ve boosted the bee population and also had a bit of fun with gin.”  
>  
> Natalie Conti
