It is found that in these clusters early-type Be stars are more frequent than in the galactic field, and late-type Be stars are scarce or inexistent. We interpret this result as evidence for an evolutionary enhancement of the Be phenomenon towards the end of the main sequence lifetime.6 pages, to be published in ASP Conference Series "Interplay between periodic, cyclic and stochastic variability in selected areas of the H-R diagram", C.
