Calling the Bees...

I have been in this house for a few days... A new place...

Simon is playing this strange metal instrument. At first it looks like
a long didgeridoo but it sounds like a blues violin; a metallic kind of
sound that he is bowing with a violin bow. Its the shape of a didgeridoo, but it has this coiled up metal spring inside which you pull out of one end to create tension....

The sound is metallic - it resonates long tones and as as he plays, he changes the tension in the spring that he is holding, which changes the pitch in a smooth way,
like playing a saw.

The sound is strange and mysterious and he seems to be using it to
call to the spirits or something. As he plays I see all these bees
gather around in the air. They fill the space, hovering around, being
called over by the sound. I can see them very clearly, in sharp focus;
 some of them are drones but most of them are smaller worker bees.
They hover around Simon playing the instrument. Simon has called them over using this strange instrument.

There are other people gathered around but they don't see the bees
like I see them. Simon stops playing and walks off and the bees fly
away following in his direction as if they will get fed, and the
people gathered around disperse. I follow Simon and the bees because I
want to find out how he managed to call the bees using this
instrument. I end up walking through this rose garden which has lots
of chicken wire fences. I go down these narrow paths which get
narrower towards the end. I get stuck right at the end. I can see
Simon again and he tells me that he got stuck there too but managed to
find a way out of it, so leaves me to figure it out myself. I find
that I can climb over the fencing.

When I get over the fencing simon is gone, but I find a very sad man
who is crying and is very melancholic.
