Melt butter in a 12-inch saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add corn and saute 4 minutes (or until it's brightened in color).
Reduce heat to medium. Add flour, cook and toss constantly, 1 minute longer.
While stirring slowly pour in half and half, then honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook stirring constantly and scraping pan until mixture has thickened, about 2 minutes.*
Serve warm with chives.
Notes
*After step 5 (after removing from heat) mixture can also be partially blended with an immersion blender if you'd like to break down some of the corn kernels.
