Tamra read the following information on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) website while researching for a report on honeybees.

Pollinators are a vital part of agricultural production. In the United States, more than one-third of all crop production - 90 crops ranging from nuts to berries to flowering vegetables - requires insect pollination. Managed honeybee colonies are our primary pollinators, adding at least $15 billion a year by increasing yields and helping to ensure superior-quality harvests.

However, our beekeepers have been steadily losing colonies. The number of honeybee hives in this country has decreased from 6 million in the 1940s to about 2.5 million today.

Which of the following is the best way for Tamra to include some of this information in her report while avoiding plagiarism?

• "Managed honeybee colonies add at least $15 billion a year."

• According to the USDA, "Beekeepers have been steadily losing colonies."
