Liam Gallagher loves bees — so much, in fact, that he's come out in support of a campaign to save them.

The Oasis singer's concerned about bees, which are disappearing in Britain, and apparently became aware of this problem after honey cured the throat virus that led his band to cancel their V Festival performance this summer.

"You've got to look after the birds and bees, man," Gallagher told British tabloid The Sun.

"The bees are vanishing. We've got to save them before they all buzz off. It's important. It's really worthwhile cause.

"Without them we're in proper bother.

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

Someone else recently buzzed off from Oasis, but that was apparently BECAUSE of bother.

One-fifth of Britain's bees died last winter, which is devastating considering bee products contribute 200 million British pounds to the country's economy every year.
