(A) The euclidean distance–based dendrogram summarizes the differentiation among gut microbiome composition in different treatments. (B) Bar charts showing the relative abundance of the dominant gut bacteria communities in 14 days old honey bees; Taxa accounting for < 1% of reads are grouped as “Other taxa”. (C) Evolutionary tree by using UPGMA methods. Bar chart layer indicates the relative abundance of ASVs in different treatment groups and different colors in the outer layer indicates the phylum level identification of ASVs (p < 0.05). (D) Correspondence analysis (CA) representing the bacterial taxa and their abundances inside the gut from different treatments. (E) Shannon diversity index of gut bacteria in honey bees fed with different type of carbohydrates. Acacia honey (AH), brown sugar (BS), chestnut honey (CH), corn syrup (CS), maltose (ML), newly emerged (New), white sugar (WS).
