When honey is poured warm through a filter there are air bubbles throughout
the honey.  These will disappear over 24 hours.  I wonder whether you have
air bubbles or froth.  There are some honeys which are noted for froth.  In
Australia, some of the mallee eucalypts appear to continually have a layer
of froth even after packing.  This does not indicate lack of quality or poor
handling.
