Juniper has bits of sap on trunk

[RhyleeRebecca]

Hello all! My juniper has developed tiny drops (maybe 0.5cm at largest) of sap on its trunk - I’m fairly new to bonsai, this tree is kept outdoors full time, 6+ hours of sun per day, have been watering normally, has been fertilized normally, minimal pruning of mature foliage I haven’t really touched the growing tips, is this normal? See photos.

Not normal in my experience.

Could be insect damage

Looks like 3 different "situations".

The reddish sap usually means problems, the others....meh.
