>>The bot doesn't realize the field is hidden and puts something
in it.  Check the field when the form is submitted for the
presence of a value in the field.

OK, I see. But there is no guaranty the bot will fill the field.
I prefer the reverse : add a field in a onclick event and check for the 
presence of the field.
This is 100% sure.

I've also read about the Honey Pot project.
IMO, its weakness is that it mostly rely on list of IP addresses.
This is not sure enough, mainly because
1º IP addreses may be spoofed
2º many bots are actually ordinary user browsers hosting some worms therefore 
they can attack from any legitimate IP adresses.
