Gelf gets to the bottom of a dubious quote about bees attributed to the great physicist
[This related source is recommended in its entirety.]

“Gelf can only speculate, but hitching your story, argument, or life's work to a cultural eminence such as Einstein has an undeniable appeal. Dr. Grosz tells Gelf that "there are numerous fake, twisted, and distortedly translated quotes out there attributed to Einstein. Unfortunately, the internet allows wrong information to proliferate at lightning speed without any control." (We'd like to add that the internet also makes it easier to correct such misinformation.) Still, we suspect that the likes of Einstein and other, similarly revered figures, will continue to be attached to supposed profundities that have little or nothing to do with them.”
