The GBM Bubble Hypothesis: A Conceptual Framework for Honey Bee Colony Stability

This record presents the GBM Bubble (GMBTR) Hypothesis — a conceptual framework describing honey bee colony stability as an integrated buffering state formed by genetic diversity (G), microbiome integrity (M), behavioural/pheromonal coordination (B), beekeeping technique aligned with natural processes (T), and resilience/self-regulation (R).The documents are based on long-term field observations and are shared as an open research concept intended for critique, testing, and refinement.
