#1 for honey last 5 min of boil should be plenty on a med/light wheat. will impart some honey But it will dry out your wheat. it will jack final ABV in similar numbers to corn sugar.
I do like to get my honey at least mostly pastureized at 180-190. for a few minutes. adding to boil at end for a minute or two will do it. 5 is safe while maintaining good honey notes, esp with wild honey. this is the way I do my honey corriander.

when making mead I know meaders like me have to add yeast nutriet. Since Honey dosn't isn't as nurishing as Malt. Maybe thats why it takes so long to ferment out. Just my 2 centabos
+1 on mead no nutrient needed with malt

All I know is this: I made an extract hefe kit a few weeks ago and bottled today. The taste resembled honey very much, and I added none to my batch. (I fermented high--couldn't get it much colder than 72 with this ridiculous summer heat we've had)
Of course, that's today and it hasn't had a chance to bottle condition, and I generally think most worts so far taste the same. (That's probably terrible to admit!)
i won't add honey to a hefe. it's just too delicate a flavor to mess with; too easy to overpower

true hefe no... American wheat... yes.
true hefe has a strong profile (done some peach, raspberry, & strawberries and didn't over power yeast flavor using wyeast 3068) and it may stand up to some honey.... was thinking about doing a pound of local honey with some lemon balm herb in the spring... strong yeast

If it helps at all, mine got 2nd place in "specialty" at the local homebrew competition (very small). It tastes very much like banana-clove-honey. I still think it's too dry, but the judges really liked it...
