How much bigger are you planning on going? What is total size of garden?
2 hives may be too much. One strong hive is by far more productive than two weaker ones. Putting a good hive and adding second brood box at right time will promote more pollinating as they try to fill honey supers, etc.
Be very, VERY careful of seeds used to make sure they are not gmo'd with pre- or post emergent insecticides/herbicides. Research has started to come in with very negative results. Most of the larger commercial beekeepers are taking a stance of staying as far as possible away from those type of crops. Several are plain walking away from business after 40-60 years in business because of the problems. Bees travel up to 3-5 miles for pollen and nectar. If you have under a 3 acre garden, one good strong hive will do wonders.
