Statistical analyses and pairwise comparisons of relative abundance of each bacterial family forming the core microbiota between the four sampling times: September 6, after the last honey flow; November 2, before entering wintering room; April 27, after wintering and removal from wintering room; June 1, during first honey flow of 2018. Sampling times are significantly different if they are identified with different letters.
