Try this, taken from vb org

~~~I created a simple user profile field that simply requires a zip code to be entered, if the wrong info is entered - no registration. By using a default entry and a simple regular expression it has stopped almost all spambots.

Very important! By placing a default value and a regular expression, the registration won't happen unless a valid zip code is entered. By placing the word "ZIP CODE" as a default vale the field is automatically invalid and must be correctly changed during registration.

Give it a try...

recaptcha didnt work for me. The bots kept coming, but I used a profile field similar to what Walter posted, and havent had a bot since.
