For some reason, my JPanel is not showing up

This is my code

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class Test extends JFrame{
    private JButton by;
    private JButton bn;
    JLabel startQuestion;

    public Test() {
        JPanel p = new JPanel();
        by = new JButton("Yes");
        bn = new JButton("No");
        startQuestion = new JLabel("Would you like to start?");
        p.setLayout(null);
        by.setBounds(180, 250, 70, 45);
        bn.setBounds(250, 250, 70, 45);
        startQuestion.setLocation(195, 240);
        p.add(by);
        p.add(bn);
        add(startQuestion);
        add(p);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(3);
        setSize(500, 500);
        setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String...args) {
        new Test();
    }
}

There are no syntax errors, however my Jlabel is not added (the buttons work fine). I do not want to change the layout from null, as I want to be able to define the positions of the buttons and labels. Does anyone know why this isn't working?

        by.setBounds(180, 250, 70, 45);
        bn.setBounds(250, 250, 70, 45);
        startQuestion.setLocation(195, 240);
        p.add(by);
        p.add(bn);
        add(startQuestion);
        add(p);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(3);
        setSize(500, 500);
        setVisible(true);
        }
        public static void main(String...args) {
        new Test();
    }
}

Note:

you need to comment setlayout(null);

This question is similar to JLabel won't show with JPanel.setLayout(null). Why?

To answer it here, add a line like this:

    startQuestion.setBounds(150, 150, 200, 20);
