We report the de novo sequencing of six bacterial strains isolated from the Western honey bee, as well as the resequencing of six strains that have existing draft genomes, to obtain complete, chromosomal-level assemblies. These strains include the bee gut symbiont genera Bartonella, Bifidobacterium, Snodgrassella, Gilliamella, Lactobacillus, and the opportunistic pathogen Serratia marcescens KZ11.
