In my experience, very fine filtration introduces very fine bubbles which
don't easily rise to the surface.  Warming the honey helps greatly.  So
does time.
 
If you indeed do have particles of pollen or dust, I don't know of a more
effective filter than women's hose.  Anything that would trap more solid
particles would probably absorb too much honey and therefore be wasteful
(coffee filters come to mind).
