Some type of honeysuckle, Lonicera species. Likely one of the invasive ones native to Eurasia. As far as I know the berries are not edible, and possibly somewhat toxic. The flowers have that nice sweet nectar kids love to suck out from the base, thus the common name.

Most of the honeysuckles you see intentionally planted today are the native vining species called trumpet honeysuckle that have interesting foliage and very showy flowers, and are not invasive.
