I may have an opportunity to dig up some daffodils from an old
abandoned farm house. I will need to dig them while they are still in
bloom. I will re plant them in the fall but what do I do in the mean
time?

If the house is abandoned and assuming you have permission why does it
matter when you dig up those bulbs?

So I will know where they are

You'll still know where they are after the flowers fall off and then
way later when the foliage browns... plus you can always mark the area
with some stakes, or just dig a small trench around the area since you
will be digging there anyway. *You'll prabably want to use a garden
fork to dig up the bulbs in clumps, it'll damage less than digging
with a spade. *Choose a time after some days of heavy rain when the
earth is soft.

Thanks for all the input but it turns out the property is not owned by
who I thought it was so I won't be doing any digging
