Mold or Floating Yeast?

There is floating debris in my mead—Is this a cause for concern?

Some context: I fermented honey water with Red Star Premier Blanc wine yeast, nearly 4 weeks ago. Two weeks ago, I transferred the mead into another carboy for secondary fermentation, added in toasted oak chips, and a Campden tablet. 1 week ago, I removed the oak chips, and transferred the mead into a new carboy. The mead still has not cleared up, and I just noticed some floating debris with bubbles. Is this just yeast that got kicked up, and is this normal? Thanks for your help!

OP's pic sure looks like normal yeast activity.

Any bubbly, fuzzy looking stuff or rafts with "tendrils" stretching outward (like in the pic below) can be a cause for concern. OP just has some yeast bobbing around and a few rafts of bubbles floating on top.
