Honeypots, what is their limits for intrusion detection?

Hi,
I have a newbie question related to intrusion detection. It was 
suggested to me that Honeypots only catches automated attacks, is that 
true? How can we know which attacks are not caught? Is there any papers 
on what sort of attacks are caught by using honeypots?

Regards
Tomas
