Seismic estimates of core overshoot have been derived from extensive high-precision photometric and spectroscopic ground-based (multisite) campaigns for five main-sequence B-type stars. For three of these, the ratio of the near-core rotation frequency to the surface rotation frequency could be estimated as well, from the identified oscillation modes. We summarise these seismic results obtained for B stars. Now that the technique of asteroseismology was proven to work for probing the interior of massive stars, we expect a drastic increase in the precision of the structure parameters from the space missions CoRoT and Kepler, as well as from currently ongoing ground-based campaigns, in the coming years.
