no, you can get beads without finishing the map. if you choose to return to the citadel, you keep all the beads you have collected. however, if you are defeated by enemies, you lose the beads.

the counter in the map only shows how many beads you collected on that run of the map. if you click the red button next to the event banner, there is a number in the top right corner that shows how many beads you have gathered all together.
