Song in a code to do with buzzers (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apiarian

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'do with buzzers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'song in a code' is the wordplay.
'song' becomes 'aria' (piece of music in an opera).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'code' becomes 'pin' (a PIN number is a 4-digit code).
'a'+'pin'='apin'
'aria' placed inside 'apin' is 'APIARIAN'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apiarian that I've seen before include "in a place that has a buzz?" , "Of bees" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
