The different beads are designed to be tied differently, but the ones I use on all my guitars are Rosette Guitar. I'm not trying to advertise for them by any means, but they sell on Amazon, and one of the photos they have shows how the knots are made. Here's a link:

I've never had the knots slip. They say you should double loop the high E string to ensure there aren't any problems. I usually do, but have experimented with not doing it, and haven't had a problem when I didn't do it.

Last tid-bit, I think other bridge beads have similarly easy tying methods. Of course a different design means a different tying method, but the whole intent is to decrease time and make the tying process easier.
