Quoting from wikipedia: "There are about 180 species of honeysuckle...in most
species the berries are mildly poisonous, but a few (notably Lonicera
caerulea) have edible berries."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeysuckle

So, DON'T eat the berries of just any honeysuckle. The species we've been
discussing is native to regions just slightly south of the north pole, so I
doubt it would grow in Florida. Sorry. I bet there's lots of other great
stuff you can grow there, though. Have you been to the Fruit and Spice Park?
They have oodles of unusual things that are probably better adapted to your
climate.
