The net charge of beryllium is +2.

The element beryllium has a positive 2 charge due to the fact, that it loses two electrons, hence we all know that when an element loses electrons, it gains a  positive charge, whereas if an element gains electrons, it will then have a negative charge. 

Final answer:

+ 2
