The honey bee queen microbiota by tissue. Color-coded bars represent relative abundance corrected by species-specific 16S rRNA gene copy number (see Additional file 3: Table S3 for normalized abundance). The 4 × 4 panel displays the top nine most abundant OTUs by niche, age, and source. Black represents the summation of OTUs 10–500. Old queens in the upper two rows are 16–18 months of age and young queens in the bottom two rows are aged 4.5–5.7 months (Fig. 4)
