Greenpeace has published the new report. Will Migros now react and remove all bee-endangering products from its range?
What does Greenpeace think?
"Refrain from selling plant protection products and biocides that are harmful to bees. The necessary precautionary measures for use cannot be sufficiently implemented by hobby gardeners. Some of the mandatory requirements are almost impossible to implement, even for trained gardeners."

Is Migros still of the opinion that it no longer sells plant protection products that are harmful to bees, or has it now changed its mind in this respect?

This document provides an overview of all plant protection products authorized on the Swiss market that are harmful to bees.
Why does Migros claim that the "Mioplant spray against pests" is harmless to bees? All the specialist agencies claim exactly the opposite!

It's moth season again, but the organic spray Delfin from Andermatt Biogarten is more expensive at Migros than at Landi. The toxic chemical stuff is also bad for bees and all other pollinators, but the organic stuff with BT is not. Migros could set an example and favor the ecologically more sustainable product with a particularly low price. The boxwood is evergreen, beautiful and frugal and therefore one of the most widespread ornamental plants of all. Customers can be easily influenced by the price, so the better product should be cheaper than the chemical one. Especially at Migros, which likes to present itself as ecological and sustainable.

The Friends of Bees document contains a whole series(!) of products that are still available in Migros. That's not just 2 or 3, but rather 10 or more.
Thank you @deactivated user for publishing the M-Infoline response.
I am taking the liberty of publishing the wording (excerpt) of the Fairness Commission here so that all Migipedia users can read why the Migros advertising statement is incorrect and unfair in the view of the Fairness Commission. We are pleased that it has been possible to stop Migros advertising with Generation M Bee Protection and Noah. Please don't always criticize @Tanja_Migros
and other community managers. They "only" communicate between Migros and us, and I don't think they have as much influence as some here assume? I hope we can continue to voice our criticism here, as long as it remains factual. I also hope that the products criticized by many here will soon disappear from the range after all... ?
Greetings Loxiran
I'm a little surprised that people here are happy that Migros has canceled its promise. For me there are only 2 possibilities:
1. Migros writes that it has not kept its promise and continues to offer products that are harmful to bees. This is currently the case.
2. Migros simply no longer sells products that are harmful to bees and can correctly advertise with the promise that has been kept.
Anything else is cowardly and untrustworthy, but unfortunately this is what you can expect from Migros at the moment.
@stecki I would also very much welcome it if Migros were to ban all bee-endangering products from its shelves as quickly as possible.
Nevertheless, I think we should be pleased that Migros has now had to delete its promise and is no longer allowed to advertise with the Generation M promise regarding bee protection. If we hadn't raised the issue here on Migipedia, it would probably never have been noticed? Thanks to @ivan92 for noticing that Migros is selling such products. We achieve much more if we make our demands here calmly, objectively and critically. We don't always have to bang our fists on the table? This also includes being happy about an "interim goal". Let's keep at it... Thank you to all objective and critical voices.

We are more pleased about the transfer of Migros with the empty promise. You can be happy about that too. It's not the first time Migros has tried to catch customers with dishonest advertising, so it's all right if they get hit on the head again. There are plenty of other places where they simply get away with half-truths and false pretenses.
But Migros won't give up all the poisonous stuff, it will simply stop using the bee thing for advertising and let the promise fall by the wayside. Migros will pretend it never happened and fill its pockets again with new poisons. Or maybe they'll go back to using the old poisons.
Migros based its promise on the now outdated report from 01.04.2013, "Bye Bye Bee by Greenpeace". At that time, the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin was not yet listed.
Now there is finally the new report! You can read it here:
https://www.greenpeace.de/sites/www.greenpeace.de/files/publications/20160727_schwarze_liste_pestizide_greenpeace_final.pdf
Lambda-cyhalothrin is now officially on the new Greenpeace Blacklist 2016! Migros must now act one way or another.

Migros has deleted the page with the promise, but continues to claim that it does not sell pesticides that are harmful to bees! Which it still does.
Migros also claims: "Biological pesticides (e.g. from Migros Bio Garden) protect plants without endangering bees", even though Migros products are on the list. Perhaps you should also let this statement disappear into nirvana, as it is simply false.
