Honeysuckle covered with little green bugs #321699

Asked May 15, 2016, 8:04 AM EDT

I have a honeysuckle plant which is in relatively good health.  This spring I  noticed that all of the flowers are absolutely covered with little green bugs and that the plant is growing grey in color.  Do you know what is happening to my plant?  It seems like two separate issues with the bugs being one and the grey color maybe coming from a mold or mildew?  It has been a wet spring...  Thank you!
