I had bud worms burrowing into the main stem near the tops of buds and, to what it looks like, it seemed if they were perhaps gaining a drink and laying these brownish eggs about creating a type of moldy situation where the buds were falling off prematurely....very frustrating. Any suggestions?

Worms are good!

They provide castings that the plants feed off, the nutrients are great for these plants!

It's actually ok to have worms (no homo), they shed their skin and leave castings that are great for your plants. Don't fear worms when growing.

I know it's weird to see them there, but it's all good!

Yes, it's when they poo and shed their skin that it's most beneficial.

The plants benefit most from the things left behind.
It breaks down and gets used for food.

Thank you.
Don't forget organic nutrients like banana peel, it's all good for your harvest.
Bury it in 1 to 2 inches of topsoil.
