Washington, Oct 3 : Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher is campaigning to save honeybees from becoming extinct.

The singer has warned humanity is in "proper bother" if the honey-producing insects die out as a result of using pesticides around their hives.

He calls for people to take action.

"You''ve got to look after the birds and the bees, man,” Contactmusic quoted Gallagher as saying.

"The bees are vanishing. We''ve got to save them before they all buzz off. It''s important. It''s a really worthwhile cause. Without them we''re in proper bother,” he added.

He says that honey helps in protecting his voice, even though he dislikes the taste.

“If it weren''t for honey, I''d have a rough voice," he said.

"I''m much more worried about my voice. For years I never warmed up before a concert. I''d just stand around smoking and stuff.

"But people spend lots of money to see us and I respect that. I don''t want to go on stage sounding like an idiot. Now I drink herbal drinks and s**t. And honey. I f***ing hate it though," he added.

Campaigners have welcomed Gallagher’s stance and are delighted to have him speaking about the plight of UK honeybees,

A spokesperson for the Co-operative - who are backing new movie ''Vanishing of the Bees'', which warns of the danger of the insects becoming extinct - said: "We''re thrilled Liam recognises the urgency for action." (ANI)
