Default Eating Honeysuckle?

I'm sure that this is a really amateur question as it's not like honeysuckle can sate your hunger or anything, but I always wanted to know how to get to the sweet part of the honeysuckle. Everytime I try, I never taste anything sweet or honey-tasting at all! Am I doing it wrong?

Hold the Honey Suckle with your left hand. Gently pinch the bottom of the suckle with your right index and thumb fingers and pull at the same time thus pulling out a fine inner stem. Do this slowly and when you get to the end of that inner stem you should see a droplet of that ummmmm Honey suckle now place your tongue on that droplet mmmmm flavour. If no droplet the Honeysuckle is either too early or too old and has dried up. Early morning is the best time before noon sun.

Good post, fridge! After all, that's why it's called honeysuckle. You don't eat it, you suckle.
