When I put the heavier axle on my trailer in 2009 I cleaned and greased the bearings, then 2 years and several thousand miles later in 2011 I pulled the hubs apart to check how the bearings looked (mainly checking for water) and I sloped some more grease on them, put it back together and don't plan on messing with them again any time soon.
Edit: since I completely rebuilt the trailer maybe I should at least check the bearings.
