In regards to beekeeping, should I requeen my hive even if it is drizzling?

My hive needs a new queen. Brood patterns are spotty, bees are aggressive, all the typical signs of a dead or failing queen.

My new queen is arriving today and it is drizzling. Should I just slip her in there really quick and hope for the best or keep her cooped up for a day?

Does anyone know where I can buy untreated bees?

I thinking about beekeeping and have been reading a lot about it. I would like to use a warre hive and it seems that using untreated bees is the way to go. I live in NW Arkansas, but would be fine with getting them over the internet if I can’t find them locally.

Bug spray while beekeeping?

I beekeep near a hive with a lot of overgrowth all around it and in such overgrowth lurk hundreds of pesty Mosquitos. While beekeeping I’m always constantly swatting at my legs which are constantly swarmed by mosquitos. I leave the hive with at LEAST 30 bites per visit. Is it safe for the bees if I were to spray my legs and arms with OFF bug spray before each visit?
