Probably Porcelain berry (Ampelopis brevipedunculata).  I have seen so many
bees working it at times that you would think the whole thing had been
dipped in honey.  Here in central Virginia it blooms in mid-summer when
little else is blooming.  Unfortunately, it's not a native species, and is
known to be somewhat invasive since birds eat the berries and spread the
plant far and wide.  There are newer varigated forms that are supposed to be
less invasive.
