House Bee
Why would a queenless hive not build queen cells when given a frame of eggs?

About 3 weeks and have had 2 frames of eggs and still no QC. Lots of bees but no brood. We have had bad weather for a number of days just seems too long without any evidence of a queen. Have a nuc I could combine them with but wanted to make sure there wasn't a queen lurking somewhere all attempts to identify this have pointed towards a queen being present but haven't been able to find her.
IF you must know for sure sift all bees through a QE.Thanks for the replies, just checking I wasn't missing anything.
