It seems that it's under debate. It appears that some of Einstein's biographers have been contacted in the matter and stated they were not familiar with anywhere supporting the idea that this comment came from him. This does not prove that he didn't say it, but it does indicate that it's less likely.
My searches have led me to conclude that a German beekeeping society of some sort a while back may have falsely attributed this quote to Al in order to bring greater weight to claims they made in a pamphlet of theirs.
