number of eyelet rows in each mesh section:
2-4-8-4-2
with 16 rows of garter between each mesh section
After the 2-eyelet section I worked 16 rows of garter
then
1 eyelet section (2 rows) followed by 4 rows garter
1 eyelet section (2 rows) followed by 4 rows garter
1 eyelet section (2 rows) followed by 4 rows garter
Start bindoff (6g yarn remaining) using 6.0 glass beads

I’m going with a bind off similar to myasiadragon’s beaded bind EXCEPT that I’m knitting the beaded stitch through the back loop:
Cast on 2 sts using knitted cast-on. K2tog tbl, place bead on next stitch on left hand needle, Ktbl. Pass first stitch over beaded stitch as if binding off. Bind off two sts. Slip stitch from right needle back to left needle.
Repeat until there are no sts remaining on left needle.
