I see some posts that go around that say that Mint is good for bees and I just want to say DO NOT PLANT MINT DIRECTLY IN THE GROUND. Either bury the pot or leave the pot on a porch. Mint is a weed and it will take over your garden, compete with your other plants for food and water, and grow from under concrete and rocks. 

I also hear oregano and catnip is like this as well. Feel free to add any more since its garden season for many of us.  

Catnip is a slower spreader and its roots aren’t as insidious. But yeah, mint goes from “lovely” to “out of control hellspawn” in about 3 seasons.

I’d vote on the “pot on a porch” route. Mint roots will keep going down until they find a route out as I’ve found in my previous (large) planter culture of them.
