Insect and Spider Identification: CLOSED: Mysterious bees in my kitchen, 0 by stillwood

I hope someone can help me with this mystery about bees. We have been away for over a week on vacation. On returning last FridayI found about a dozen bees dead on my kitchen floor in a group and a few others dead scattered around the house. The only thing I can think of as to how they got in (and apparently died from no food or water and the heat in the house) was that the morning I left I brought into the house a potted soft touch holly gotten from Lowes that day. I put the pot down in a larger pot with an inch of water so that it would not dry out and die while I was away. The picture I took is a bit fuzzy, but they remind me of miner bees. Could they have been in the pot and waited until we left to come out - maybe hatched out? I put this question on the beekeeping forum, but have not had any responses. Maybe some else will have an idea as to why and where these bees appeared in my kitchen. Thanks.
