Welcome

Raising and selling honeybees and their products since February 2020

I am happy to be a participant in the EPIQ Queen breeding program, focused on sharing info and techniques on producing quality honeybee queens in the northeastern United States. This program is an information tool for 250 queen producers in the northeast. 

Offering a hands on, educational beekeeping experiences since 2020

Elected in 2019, I have been directing monthly meetings for our regional beekeeping education and social club. 

Since 2015, I have worked with the boro of Stroudsburg as well as local businesses in order to ring in the holidays with a festive tree lighting event. 

In February of 2023 I announced my candidacy for Monroe County Controller for the 2023 election year. If you are a Monroe County resident, I would love to have your vote in May and November. I am also accepting contributions to help support my campaign- contributions can be made here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/friends-of-erik-diemer-1

In 2019 I got approval to hang pride flags on Main street for the first time. This sparked the start of the annual Pocono Pride Festival held in Downtown Stroudsburg. 

Early 2023 I agreed to join the board of directors for the local humanitarian and arts non-profit, Go Collaborative. This organization is responsible for the Snowmen of Stroudsburg,  Halloween on Main, as well as a major sponsor for the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. 

Beginning my terms in winter 2021, I am the treasurer for the EMPL Board of Trustees, as well as head of the finance committee.  I also sit on the board for the EMPL Foundation, responsible for overseeing the libraries long term investments. I will maintain this role until my term expires at the end of 2023

In November of 2021 I became certified to operate and inspect voting machines for Monroe County and Pennsylvania elections. I work the Stroud 4 voting location. Due to a conflict of interest, I am no longer able to be an election worker.
