Hey Brian,
I have 2 types, the japonica, and the other(The one known as the MOST invasive)
Maybe it grows different in our different climates. I have seen bumblebees in mine but very seldon as the bumblebees are very rare here nowadays.
When I get an east or south wind and open my windows at nite when its not to hot out, the smell comes through my windows.Thats why i got honeysuckle in the first place, because of the smell. It smells GREAT and can bring back tons of memories!
your friend,
john
