Behea or Bihiya is a nagar panchayat town and Block in Bhojpur district in the Indian state of Bihar.

According to tradition, in 1528,[2] the scion of the Bihiya Harihobans, whose name is given as either Ram Pal Singh[2] or Bhopat Deo,[1] raped a local Brahmin woman named Mathin or Mahini, in line with the custom of "taking of dola", which allowed the local Rajput lord to sleep with a lower-caste woman on her wedding night.

[2] Mathin then committed suicide, but not before laying a curse upon the Harihobans, who eventually left Bihiya and moved to Ballia across the Ganges.

[2] When The Imperial Gazetteer of India was published in 1885, it mentioned the existence of Bihiya as a village of Shahabad district, with a station on the East Indian Railway.

The population was primarily a mix of Hindus and Muslims, and the primary spoken language was Bhojpuri.

Patterns of employment were different in the town of Bihiya, where both categories of agricultural workers combined formed less than 20% of the workforce.

Behea is a business hub for small-scale traders, who mainly collect agricultural products from farmers to sell elsewhere.

The commercial district is the Raja Bazaar on Station Road, which includes shopping complexes such as the Jagdamba Market.

According to the 2011 Census of India, the main three commodities manufactured in the town of Bihiya are bamboo products, brooms, and biscuits.
