Hi Vicki, 
I wanted to confirm my identification before sending a reply. 

This is an infestation by honeysuckle aphids. It is very common in lonicera sempervirens. 

Here's more information about lonicera -sempervirens
https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/lonicera-sempervirens/

Scarlet Dropmore Honeysuckle is prone to aphid infestation. Read more here about how to treat for aphids.   https://extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden-insects/aphids#using-pesticides-344413

You can start with a water spray and follow up with an application of "horticultural soap" that is labeled for use on plants. (For example, a dishwashing product like Dawn maybe okay for ducks after a crude oil spill, and for dishes, but not for use on plants, bc these other products can damage the plant tissue/cuticle.) 
Follow the label directions, you will probably need to repeat treatments. The fact sheet from Minnesota Extension has step-by-step instructions for treatment of aphids.

For preventing aphids next year, 
- be sure to keep weeds out of the garden bed, and 
- monitor the plant regularly and at the first sign of an infestation, begin treatments to, "nip it in the bud," [apologies, could not resist that garden pun.]

Whenever using chemicals in the yard or garden or home, 
always follow label directions.

Good morning, I would suggest trying a horticultural oil, which is quite effective at controlling soft bodies insects such as aphids.  

Thanks.

Hi Jen,

Thank you both for your assistance! It was very helpful and we ended up getting some horticultural soap to start with.
