I am brewing a honey lavender wheat and the recipe says to add the honey at 30min left in the boil. I have found a few places that say to add it at the very end of the boil or three-four days into the primary. The theory being the yeast will digest all the simple glucose, and not move onto the maltose readily. Any validity to this?

I am also putting in some Honey Malt to increase the honey flavor (.5#) as I have read that all the additions tend to dry out the beer and don't really add much honey flavor.
What do you guys think?
Also I am going to 10 Tbsps of Lavender in the last 5 mins and then probably another 5-6 Tbsps in the last 7 days of fermentation. Again, LMK what you guys think.
