One pound of Honey will have little impact on a 5 gal batch as far as flavour goes, but as mentioned earlier it will stretch out the fermentation a little.
I use honey a lot, but I do not go above 2 lb per 5 gallons unless I'm making a braggot, now that is some good stuff.
If your using honey from your hive, I would add it in right after the boil with no heat, and then skim the wax off the top with a sanitized screen. Boiling will drive off the aroma, steaming hot liquid does not seem to hurt it for me.

Don't use dark extract. For 5 gallonns, use light, 3.3# LME, 1# LDE, 2 oz black patent, 2 oz chocolate malt, 8 oz 20L crystal. 1 oz bittering hops, 1/2-3/4 oz flavoring hops, 3/8-1/2 oz aroma hops. 2.5# honey using leghorns method. Smooth, Brown ale with subtle honey flavor, I promise.
