Came home to a tipped hive — badger, wind, or someone messing? How do you read the scene?

Galway, second year, three hives on a rural site. Arrived yesterday evening to find one hive shoved clean off its stand — boxes separated, four frames pulled out and scattered up to five metres away, comb chewed with bits on the grass, and what look like scratch gouges on one brood box. The other two hives untouched. Bees were a sad wet cluster under the upturned brood box; I've reassembled everything and they seem to be regrouping, queen unknown. It wasn't especially windy Tuesday night. So: badger? We have them. But how do you tell badger damage from wind or from a person? And more importantly — what actually stops a badger? I've heard everything from ratchet straps to raising stands to electric fencing. The site can't easily take a fence.
