Nordmann oozing sap

[Boo Who?]

Can anyone suggest why this tree is oozing sap all over up to about 15feet and then it just stops.

The entire lower tree is covered in small droplets of sap almost on every square inch of bark. It is not large runs of sap, just wet to touch as the droplets are on the bark, but then as you can see in one of the photos it just stops, level with a set of branches and the top of the tree seems to be unaffected?!

Adelges picea is Balsam Woolly aphid (Try to keep up )

 

I think I'd have that as my best guess based on some very poor photos.
