    I don't see why not. Anything is worth a try and sometimes experimenting is the only way to know for sure. I think about the only thing that may be an issue with this is the watering of your beans, which could result in too much moisture for the dormant bulbs, resulting in rot. But again, you won't know for certain until you try.

    As long as the area is suitable to their growing needs, I do not see why not. This article will help with growing daffodils: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/daffodil/daffodil-planting-care-tips-how-to-plant-daffodils-in-your-garden.htm

    If it gets cold enough where you live to chill them in the ground, you can plant them now. But if it does not get cold enough for them to get the chill time they need to flower, you will need to pre-chill them and plant them after they are pre-chilled. Pre-chilling is simple. You just need to put them in a cool place for 12 weeks. A vegetable bin in a fridge or an unheated garage works well, just as long as temps stay below 45 F and the bulbs are not allowed to freeze solid.

    I would go ahead and plant them. It won't hurt them to plant now. They will grow, they just won't bloom (as they have not been chilled) and you don't need to worry about it in the fall.Then the following year they will be fine. This is the best way, as the plants will still be able to replenish their stores to survive the winter.

    If you store them for the summer, the bulbs will be forced to deplete their already low stores while in storage and they will have a far less chance of surviving next winter.
