I suppose it could maybe have a different flavor, but my honey doesn't taste like onions when they gather from my alium.  It depends a lot on what else they're gathering at the same time.  It's a matter of dilution, it should have a minimal effect on the flavor from a small garden patch.  If you had a big field of chives and little else in the neighborhood you could have an issue.
