Best Answer

yes you can and it depends on what type of flower and leaf you have

You should check with an expert on this one. I don't know if the honeysuckle is edible, but you can pluck a flower off, pinch off its end, and suck out the sweet nectar. (Just make sure the flower has no bees on it first!)

Whether or not honeysuckle can be eaten depends upon the particular plant part and the particular species.

Specifically, the plant in question (Lonicera spp) can be mildly poisonous and provoke allergic reactions in the susceptible individual. The Japanese honeysuckle (L. japonica) has edible flowers and drinkable nectar even though other species do not. Blue-berried honeysuckle (L. caerulea) is popular as a baked dessert, candy, jam, juice, sauce or wine. But the outside may be blue while the inside still is green instead of deep purple red, in which case the berry will taste bitter or grassy but will not be poisonous.
