Quick, spray them with very cold water. The aphids that fall off will die out. However for a more permanent solution, I've used insecticidal soap.

I too also had the same aphids problem with my honeysuckle. What I did was add a bit of dishwasher soap into a spray bottle filled with water afterwhich I spray the solution all over the plant. It will kill the aphids and does not hurt your plant.

I do this for a few days and once I see no more aphids I stop. Remember to check your honeysuckle a week or two after to make sure you've killed the babies aphids that may have hatch from eggs.

Correct except that aphids don't produce eggs, they actually 'give birth' to young ones, very quickly though. They self produce every day which is why one becomes 100 in no time at all.

Thanks Ianna for the update. That was one fact I didn't know =)

I heard it throught a neighbor of mine about aphids and eggs and assume it was so, guess I should have done a bit more homework =).
