Please, please don't tell me you wasted money on beehive chips to honey synthesis.
Honey is relatively easy to acquire; the beehive chips generally cost much more than the honey does. If you have a high level job you can farm chips and honey very quickly; no one XP's on bees, and there are lots of areas with them.

Back on topic...
I don't remember precisely what I did in the 70ish range, but it was some combination of things like Emporer Roe, Flint Caviar, and Tavnazian Tacos with a few other easier synths mixed in. I saved the Roe to make Caviar, and saved the Caviar to make Tacos. Very space-intensive, but not wasteful compared to other paths (helps a LOT if you have high Fishing skill to support this, though, as Emporer Fish, Grimmonites, etc. aren't that easy to come by otherwise).
