From what I understand if you want all the good stuff honey has to offer you need to use raw honey which is unfiltered and unpasteurized. Adding honey to the boil would basically pasteurize it destroying most of the beatifically stuff. The flip side is that if you add it after the boil, you may end up with an infected batch as there are a host of wild yeast and bacteria naturally found in Honey.

If you add the honey late, you have to pasteurize it, same results. You heat the honey to 180 degrees and hold it there for an hour, then add it to your already fermenting beer. All the microbes and pollen, gone. So I'm still holding with no, but it is a nice idea, anti-allergenic beer....
