Does this plant need to be covered?  
 
I planted it last Spring. Grew well but it all died over the winter. Now it has finally grown to cover the trellis but no flowers. Does it need to be covered or does it just need a couple of years to settle in its spot?

Needs no special care for wintering I have a few of the Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckles and are roughly 20 years old .Very easy plant to grow.

You need a male and a female to produce trumpet flowers. Hummingbird are in and out all day

Do you mean that you need both male and female flowers to produce berries? While there's a few plants that have genuinely male/female plants (some types of ivy apparently are), it's actually not very common and doesn't appear to apply to the honeysuckle. It does, however, appear to need to cross-pollinate with a second plant, but not necessarily the exact same cultivar.  
 
Plants from the cucurbit family (squash, cucumbers, melons, zucchini, etc) are like that - you need a second plant to ensure pollination, but not necessarily the same type (squash and cucumbers, for example, will cross pollinate to produce fruit, although the resulting seed will be hybrid and probably not useful). Many apple cultivars are also like that - they will cross-pollinate with other apples or even crabapples to bear fruit.  
 
Regardless, this shouldn't impact whether or not the plant is producing blooms. What I have found in the brief bit of reading is that if you prune the honeysuckle, the new growth won't produce flowers in the first year. So it's possible if it died back last year that all this year's growth didn't produce flowers for that reason, and it might produce next year instead. Raspberries work like that too - first year growth never produces flowers, ergo never produces fruit, only the 2nd and 3rd years on a cane before dying back.  
 
I would be tempted to just leave it and see what happens next year. It probably wouldn't hurt to put some leaf litter around it's feet to insulate it a bit, but they're supposed to be very hardy so maybe you were having other issues last winter. Did the plant fully establish last year, or was it planted late in the season?

Very interesting discussion. Yes my honeysuckle died back to the ground over the winter. So this new growth has reached over 10ft and the trellis is full. The plant had a good year. I will leave it alone and wait for the flowers next year.

Most Honeysuckle plants are called trumpet vines and one possibility is that it is not one of the hardy types. Do you know what the label said?  
Sometimes places like Walmart/Canadian tyre/ Superstore sell items that are not hardy here in Manitoba.  
We have a couple of Chester thornless blackberries , yes they are root hardy but because they flower on year old vines, never set fruit because the top growth dies off each winter, whether I cover them in spruce branches with straw or even old carpet and straw, the stems just cannot take the minus 30's.
