Subject: Question about clarity 

This is my first post to MLD, so I hope everything goes right. 
I brewed my second and third batch of mead yesterday.  I followed one of the 
recipes from the ftp sight which suggested keeping the honey/water at sub 
boiling temperature and skimming the yellowish scum until no more scum 
forms.  As I was doing this I noticed that the honey water started to become 
clearer.  Is this because the "scum" is being removed or is it due to some 
other reason?
