Additional file 1: of In-hive variation of the gut microbial composition of honey bee larvae and pupae from the same oviposition time

Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) data of the abundance of selected bacterial groups of honey bees (5th instar and black pupae). Data are log-transformed copies of the 16S rRNA gene per 1 g of the total gastrointestinal tract of individual and pooled samples. Individuals were collected at two developmental stages (10 5th instar individuals and 10 black pupae) from a single hive. Pooled samples show data of the comparable developmental stages from 4 locations and 3 hives at each location (EXP1) published by Hroncova et al. [34] where identical methodical/sampling approach was used allowing direct comparison of results. (XLSX 79 kb)
