蜜蜂叫社會昆蟲？牠們是如何相互溝通的？牠們又為什麼會螫人？
在這一次旅程中，魔法校車變成一輛蜂巢巴士，而卷髮佛老師和她的學生們 則變成了小蜜蜂。他們一定要想辦法混進蜂巢內，才能獲得關於蜜蜂群體生活的第一手資料。得獎作家喬安娜柯爾，巧妙地將現實、幻想、冒險和幽默融合在一起， 帶領讀者來探索蜜蜂的生活。當讀者從蜜蜂的角度去發現牠們是如何尋找食物，建築巢室，製造蜂蜜與蜂臘，或是了解到牠們照顧子代的方法，一定會驚異於昆蟲的 生活原是如此複雜多變的。本書精采的圖畫則出自布魯斯德根之手。他的圖容易觀賞，小處細膩而又充滿智慧。這樣完美的作品，絕對會滿足每一顆好奇的小心靈。

　　這本書看似佛老師雜亂的卷髮，實際上是經過精心的設計，非常細膩。文字雖然簡潔，行家一看，便知切中要點，它絕對是將龐大資訊細細咀嚼後，經過繁複的整合、沉澱、終致燦開的創作。

　　故事從進入蜂巢要接受守衛蜂檢查開始，這個情節彷彿電影中要混入異形或敵軍的大本營那般令人緊張！接著便一路用探險的方式，來呈現科學家從小蜜蜂身上所學 到、所累積到的知識。舉凡蜜蜂的解剖學（例如口器、蜜囊、螫針）、生理營養（費洛蒙、花粉、花蜜等）、發生學（發育、變態等）、行為學（釀蜜、儲蜜、舞舞蹈、溝通等）、社會組織（后蜂和工蜂的分工、階級、工蜂的工作、育幼、分封等）、生態學（授粉、捕食者等），沒有一樣遺漏。此外，蜂巢的結構、蜂箱的構造，都帶入流暢的故事裡，既不含糊、也不牽強。

【魔法校車】系列是美國最具影響力、得獎最多、最暢銷、最受歡迎的科學圖畫書。並曾榮獲紐澤西州年度童書首選、「美國書商聯盟」精選最佳童書等等獎項。
