C IV and Si IV resonance line profiles of 21 Be, B-shell and normal stars are studied with the aim of detecting evidences for mass loss. We found that almost all our sampled stars are loosing mass. A relation between an estimated lower limit for the rate of mass loss and the observed rotational velocity was searched but not found.
