Abstract

We have searched for magnetic fields in several early B-type stars:βCephei, Slowly Pulsating B (SPB) and in particular Be stars. We recallthe properties of these stars and highlight the problem of the Be phenomenon. Wediscuss two clues towards understanding this phenomenon in terms of pulsations andmagnetic fields. We summarize results from spectropolarimetric observationsobtained at the Pic du Midi (France) and highlight the results for the Be starω Ori and the β Cep star V2052 Oph.
