Yes, they do have seeds. The flowers of bulb plants are in the heart of the bulb, enclosed by the layers of the bulb, and will appear when the plant grows and matures. Garlic plants, e.g., have flowers on long stalks that are sold in supermarkets as food. However, for these plants, bulb propagation is easier than seed propagation, so the seeds are not used much.

"Bulb-type plants propagate by making new, smaller versions of themselves: BULBLETS, CORMELS and BULBILS. They also produce seeds. Smaller offshoot bulbs or cormels can be detached from the main bulbs. These smaller bulbs will flower in 1 to 3 years. Aerial bulblets (bulbils) form where the leaf meets the stem on various lilies. These will produce flowers 2 to 3 years after planting.
Although there are other methods of propagation, they are not commonly used by the home gardener. Growing bulbous plants from seed is impractical for most gardeners."

If they flower, there should be seeds available, however, bulbs can be planted or transplanted negating the need for seeds.

They make bulblets. They grow smaller bulbs on the sides of the mother bulb that you can separate and transplant to another location if you want to.'
