Sure. Drones can even be chords rather than single notes. I believe most bagpipes have three drone pipes. One is tuned 2 octaves below the tonic of the chanter (melody pipe), another is 1 octave below, and the third plays the fifth (rock guitarists know this combination as the "power chord").

only if the drone is a bee in a jar.

Great idea. Drone concrète! Record a natural sound such as a buzzing bee or housefly and loop it to produce a continuous drone for the duration of your song. You could even drop the pitch an octave or two in Audacity or some other audio software.

stump did something similar with croaking frogs, but to make a rhythm track.
