It means the same, but it is not used in normal conversation or writing. You'd find it as "here it be" or "it be here" only in things like fairy tales. Use "it is here" or "here it is".

"Here it be." is wrong. Had the fairy tale been translated from another language? I am curious to see a few sentences around it.

Uneducated rubes use it too.
