Foreign matter in honey
Stereo microscope: The sugar and black mass precipitated at the bottom of the bottle were melted with hot water, and when filtered, fine particles were observed on the filter.
Scanning electron microscope: Fine particles on the filter are pollen and other particles (sand or nest fragments).
