Allowing for systematic differences in the counting of Be Stars due to their overluminosity, changes produced by their fast rotation on spectral types and time spent in the main sequence, a difference between the IMF (Be) and IMF(B) appears, which indicates that the appearance of the Be phenomenon may relay on differences in the initial star formation conditions.
