BUND pesticide test:
After 2021 and 2022, BUND has once again analysed bee-friendly plants in stores for pesticide residues. Of the seven garden centres and DIY stores examined, toom was the only one that did not detect any bee-harmful pesticides on plants advertised as bee-friendly. We spoke to Ribanna Jansen, Project Manager Sustainability at toom, about the "beneficial bee-friendly" range, the different needs of beneficial insects and quality control at toom.
