Hydrogel films composed of chitosan and agar or chitosan, agar and honey/bee pollen were prepared; they could be used as active wound dressings. During this study, various types of gel films were prepared using chitosan with different molecular weights and ratios of the two biopolymers. In addition, compositions with different amounts of honey or bee pollen were obtained. The selected samples were characterized by determining typical properties that are important for wound dressings. The best twocomponent films had a chitosan to agar weight ratio of 2:1. From among the examined tri-component films, the 2:1:0.5 weight ratio of chitosan,agar and 50 wt% honey solution was the best composition.
