Default [IBC] Ficus religiosa with hygiene problem

My Bo tree is indoors at my office, where it is doing surprisingly
well. However, the leaves are coated with sticky beads. There are
no aphids, scales or mealy bugs (the usual culprits when plants get
sticky) and the stickiness is not restricted to the hydathodes
(marginal leaf pores), where you would see guttation if the plant was
having trouble transpiring. So I have no idea what this is. Has
anyone ever seen this in a Ficus?
