No. It's the leaves that feed the bulb, so be careful not to take too
many of those from one bulb and don't mow them down, let them die back
naturally. From the pov of appearance only, some people with enough
space have a cutting garden, tucked away out of sight. Here, they
grow
flowers in rows, rather like vegetables and cut them for the house but
without spoiling the appearance of the rest of their garden.

I agree with Sacha, however I would also recommend feeding at this
stage.
As has been said let the plants die back naturally, and this plus the
additional supply of nutrients will ensure that the bulbs are fed and
rejuvinated for next years display.
