You can keep only 2 hives if thats all you want, You can box a swarm and give it way, or often combine them back . Depending on security you could put hives in a public garden, I would worry about vandals. It would work better to have them somewhere near the garden out of sight.
If you decided beekeeping wasn't for you , selling hives isn't hard or give them to a young beekeeper.
You would be very lucky if you had hives for a while, and still only wanted 2.
