jellybaby-
Yeah, I agree! It's one reason (the other being bone idleness) that I've been resisting clearing it all up, the bees and whatnot love the mess.
The dead honeysuckle is too stringy and gappy to support much wildlife, so it's mostly just ugly. When it gets too unbearable I pull the dead bits off and put them onto one of my many, many fallen wood piles :-)

i've got a line of plum trees, and there's native honeysuckle all over them. It doesn't seem to bother the trees at all, but when individual honeysuckle branches die, they stick around in huge tangled leafless snarls that look (imo) pretty fugly. I'm comfortable living with it, though. Goes with the huge tangled snarls of bramble and bindweed elsewhere(!)
