Bumble bees are key pollinators for natural and agricultural plant communities. Their health and performance are supported by a core gut microbiota composed of a few bacterial taxa. However, the taxonomic composition and community structure of bumble bee gut microbiotas can vary with bee species, environment, and origin (i.e., whether colonies come from the wild or a commercial rearing facility), and it is unclear whether metabolic capabilities therefore vary as well. Here we used metagenomic sequencing to examine gut microbiota community composition, structure, and metabolic potential across bumble bees from two different commercial
