I doubt that many bots would fill in hidden type fields. If they are, they will wise up quick.

CAPTCHA is dying. From what I am starting to hear, a honeypot is being used
more and more. Basically, you use CSS to hide a blank form field. Then in
your application, you check to see if it is filled. If it is you make the
program look like it accepted the form and quietly dispose of the data. The
idea is that a person using a modern browser will not see the form field and
thus cannot fill it.
