Just... thread them on? I tend to use pony beads, they fit over roving up to half-split width.

roving is pretty squishy, even when it's well felted so it shouldn't be too hard to put them on after. you could always do a few, see if you can get the bead on after and if not you know to put beads on before felting for the rest of them
