Which bulbs will grow through bark chippings?

As per the title, which bulbs will grow through a 2-3" layer of bark chippings? I'm guessing daffs, tulips and aliums will be fine but would snowdrops, crocuses and bluebells struggle?

Also should I plant the bulbs closer to the soil surface than you ordinarily would to account for the depth of the wood chip?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer :)
