Be and Bn stars are two populations of rapidly rotating early-type stars. Only the former possess a disk, and the disk's partial replenishment by discrete mass loss events makes Be stars an interesting laboratory also for the physics of the galactochemically much more important mass loss from more luminous stars. A contributing factor to these outbursts may be the beating of low-order nonradial g-modes, which are ubiquitous in early-type Be stars but apparently much less common or pronounced in Bn stars. Together with the Slowly Pulsating B Stars, which are also g-mode pulsators but on average rotate more slowly and are not known for particular mass loss patterns, Be and Bn stars form an empirical triangle for a differential pulsation-assisted investigation of different phases and/or branches of the evolution of B-type stars. An intensive, comparative photometric MONS study of the pulsation properties of these stars is very likely to yield the observational basis for a better understanding of these processes.
