Also too much space for the number of bees you have. They aren't covering all the frames you have in there.. I'd reduce to single brood box and stop feeding. Give them a bit more time to get on with they want to do.
A good indication of bees filling space and wanting more is when they start drawing comb on the bottom of the frames then it's time to add a second brood box.
