After reading about plant parts and what attracts birds and insects to plants:

Evan: Does Honeysuckle really have honey in it?
Can you eat it?

After a wikipedia investigation, we found out that they do not produce honey, but do have a sweet nectar that is edible and a red, black, or blue berry. Some of the plants have poisonous berries and one variety does not. The flowers from the honeysuckle are used to flavor wine, syrup, sorbet, and other sweet dishes.
