What type of bee is this?

I apologize for the blurry image, I didn't want to disturb it too much. I keep finding this kind of bee in my room. I usually catch them in this container and take them outside to the yard.

I've been stung a few times by ones I didn't notice in time. Usually they're just sitting there, almost dazed like. At first I thought they were dead.

I wanted to know what type of bee it is. Short, glossy wings, a fuzzy neck, almost like a mane or fur scarf, little antenna. It's back legs are a little thicker. It's thorax(???? Booty???) Is oval ish and yellow and black. But not like a neon yellow.

They're super chill, are they sleepy? Is something in my bedroom attracting them? I only ever find one at a time, sometimes weeks and weeks apart, sometimes twice a week.

Are they okay? Is something in my room making them sick? Or do bees just get super sleepy at night? I do have a cat, but he doesn't seem interested in them at all.
