Beica (also called Beigi, Begi, Germus, Bega) is a town in southwestern Ethiopia. Beica is the administrative center of Begi woreda. Beica has enjoyed telephone service since the 1930s. The school in Beica started in 1953 as an elementary school (grades one through six), and in 1975 was upgraded to a junior secondary school, also offering education in grades seven and eight. The town also hosted an unpaved airfield with regular flights by Ethiopian Airlines, now abandoned and in state of disrepair, and has postal service. The Dutch explorer Juan Maria Schuver visited Beica during his first explorations between the White and Blue Niles (August 1881). He described the settlement as “a large village” that was recovering from a recent famine, but at the time of his visit “with extensive plantations of durra, maize, angolib (a species of edible, sweet durra-stalk) and cabbage. Every house had its small garden of tobacco, beans, yams and shieta, the minute red pepper.” By the 1930s, Beica had become the seat of Sheik Hojali, governor of Benishangul, and the major town of that region. Gold was reported to be found in the area. During the Italian occupation, the governor was Sheik Abd al-Khair.
