These ones are probably in the genus Pineus. which are common on conifers. Adelgids produce whitish flocculence which is sometimes attached to their bodies and sometimes produces wooly patches on the foliage of trees. I don't believe that aphids (there are similar species of aphids that are found on conifers) produce flocculence.
