Wax bits is my guess.  Did you bottle the same day you extracted?

I see air bubbles, and if their are black specs it could be wax particles, propolize, or bee parts.

like keith, i see air bubbles mikey.

if you filtered (you said you did) you probably wouldn't have wax bits, propolis or bee parts....... :D

as keith mentioned if you bottled the same day as extraction, this would be air bubbles trapped in the poured honey. and maybe some foam bits from extraction.  when it settles out, (rises to the top) should be fine.

ps, moved to products of the hive for you
