No — that's a simile, not personification. It uses the word "as" to compare the berries' thickness to bumblebees, creating a visual/zoomorphic image.

Personification attributes human qualities to non-human things (e.g., "the wind sighed"). If you wanted to make it personification or animate the berries, you could rewrite it to give them actions or feelings (e.g., "the berries clustered together like gossiping children" — personification) or to give them animal-like behavior (zoomorphism/animation) such as "the berries hummed like bumblebees."
