Run up to Christmas

I'm hating this weather at the moment. All I ever seem to do is worry that my beehives have blown over all the time, it's getting on my nerves. I hope the gale force wind will have stopped by the 19th as it's Chester Christmas market again for me. It's a whole week this time and during the run up to Christmas so fingers crossed it should be good, if the weather holds off!! Also looking into getting an observation hive for food festivals and stalls next year to grab even more peoples attention. Anyone got any tips on how to use one?? Could get nasty if they escaped in the middle of a food festival!!!
