Narrative:
Enroute from sfra paleo gate to tipton airport fme; at 1400 ft. MSL; below the 1500 ft. Bwi bravo floor. Turbulence increased significantly enroute from the shoreline to fme and caused my aircraft to briefly ascend into bravo airspace and back down. Potomac [approach] contacted me on 132.77 and indicated that I had popped up into the bravo and back down. I apologized. The controller indicated it he understood; but advised me to remain clear of the bravo. My altimeter setting was consistent with the setting I received on entering the paleo gate. I believe it was 30.11. I descended to 1300 ft. MSL to avoid repeating the incident. I continued the flight to fme and landed without further incident.
