Busy Collecting Nectar

I have no idea what this bush is which hangs over from next doors garden but it was attracting scores of bees and other insects:

(P.S.  After a Google session I think it's Ligustrum sinense, Chinese privet.)

      Adrain: Always pot luck when those type of shots actually turn out to be in focus.

      TWG: After a Google session I think it's Chinese privet which appears to be a problem invasive plant your side of the pond.
