Help I think my Bonsai is ill

I brought my Bonsai around 3 months ago from a reputable garden centre. When I got it home and looked at it in more detail I noticed that it had spider webs in all the crevices and what looked like white sticky silk/cotton on some of the branches.

I very carefully removed the webs and sticky substance as best as I could. But now this white sticky stuff has appeared on nearly every branch. I'm very concerned as to what it is and indeed what this means for my Bonsai.

I would be very grateful if anyone has any idea what this is and how I can best care for my Bonsai.

Delmob2002,

This sounds like Spider Mites. Please review this thread, there is a link in it that may help. Also use Google now that you have a suspect.
