Has anyone ever heard of this?

Hi all! I'm not very knowledgeable about orchid diseases. I've read the sticky about common diseases and pests, but I've noticed something odd on my cattleya that I didn't recognize on the list. My boyfriend thinks its like a sap or something, but I didn't think orchids had sapAnywho, it's terribly small, so I haven't been able to get a decent picture, but it looks like tiny water droplets that don't evaporate. When I have wiped them away, they break up into smaller droplets, and even with water they come back. Currently they are developing on my cattleya's new growth (pseudobulb). I have also seen a very small droplet on one of my phal's spike. Does anyone have ANY clue what this is??? Is it nothing?????

Thanks in advance for educating me!
