You haven't said what version of org you are using.  The above would
probably work with versions of org 7.x but for 8.x, you need a different
set of commands to achieve what you want.  The following should do what
you want:

#+begin_src org
  ,#+TITLE: test
  ,#+OPTIONS: H:3

  ,#+startup: beamer
  ,* blah
  ,** test
  ,*** Food
  ,**** Fruit                                            :B_block:BMCOL:
       :PROPERTIES:
       :BEAMER_col: 0.5
       :BEAMER_env: block
       :END:
       - apple
       - banana
  ,**** Vegetables                                       :B_block:BMCOL:
       :PROPERTIES:
       :BEAMER_col: 0.5
       :BEAMER_env: block
       :END:
       - artichoke
       - broccoli

#+end_src

Note the removal of the LaTeX class declaration.  In v8, blocks have
headings ignored by default if they are columns so you need to specify a
block type explicitly.  Using the beamer startup directive allows you to
easily specify what you want on a headline by C-c C-b.
