In music, a drone is a harmonic or monophonic effect or accompaniment
where a note or chord is continuously sounded throughout most or all
of a piece. The word drone is also used to refer to any part of a
musical instrument that is just used to produce such an effect.

the bee-allusion is apt to begin with - workers sent out en masse, with a sting
but also, w/r/t the many melodies of political insurgency that the
songsters of rebellion may be singing in an interdicted
area...unceasingly the prospect of death from above drones
on...influencing the entire piece
