Change this one to:

    :BEAMER_env: ignoreheading

if you want the heading to be ignored.

Yes, the only way to end a block is to start a new "block" but, as I
show above, you can have a block that is essentially a no-op if you tell
org to ignore the heading (C-c C-b i): it does nothing other than end
the previous block and start a new logical group of text.
