Ware County High School is celebrating an outstanding national achievement by 2025 graduate Lindsy Moore, who was named the National Winner in the Specialty Animal Production Proficiency Award at the National FFA Convention & Expo held in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Moore earned this prestigious honor through her exceptional Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) in advanced beekeeping, showcasing both technical skill and dedication to agricultural excellence. Through the Work-Based Learning program at WCHS, she has worked with Sanders Honey Company in Waycross, Georgia, specializing in queen bee production, one of the most skilled and vital areas of the beekeeping industry.
Since beginning her SAE in 2021, Moore has played a key role in managing more than 3,000 beehives. Her responsibilities include creating and evaluating queen cells, monitoring colony health, and preparing queens for shipment to beekeepers across the nation. Her work helps ensure strong, healthy colonies that are essential to pollination and agricultural productivity nationwide.
What makes Moore’s accomplishment even more remarkable is her perseverance in the face of personal challenges. Despite being allergic to bees, she continues to work hands-on in beekeeping because of her strong belief in their importance. Moore is passionate about educating others on the critical role bees play in pollination, food production, and ecosystem health, and she is committed to helping her community, state, and country better understand their value.
“Lindsy’s dedication, knowledge, and work ethic truly set her apart,” said Ware County FFA advisor Mrs. Annabelle Jarrett. “Her passion for agriculture and willingness to overcome obstacles exemplifies the very best of FFA.”
Moore’s national FFA win is a testament to her hard work, perseverance, and commitment to excellence. She proudly represented Ware County FFA on the national stage, bringing home a national title and leaving a lasting legacy for future agricultural students.
FFA Advisors at Ware County High School include Mrs. Annabelle Jarrett, Mr. Eric Hickox, Mr. James Renshaw, and Mr. Jay Bennett.
Congratulations to Lindsy Moore on this incredible achievement and for making Ware County proud!
