ummm, maybe add another super? there are two possibilities.
a) the flow is very strong and they're just putting it whereever there's room (if you had only 1 brood chamber, this type of activity is perfect for swarming)
b)they're settling down so..shrinking the brood nest and depositing honey closer to the broodnest.

but i'd say you just have a strong flow going.

Remove a frame of this honey and replace w/ drawn frame and spread out this honey barrier making room for queen to lay eggs. Put this empty frame above existing brood area. You can do more than one frame too if you are really honey bound. I may be doing this this week. If you extract this extra frame, you now have drawn deeps frame for nucs and expansions. I had the bees draw out on extra deep as honey supers extracted and used frames to expand nucs.
