1. A wound dressing composition comprising cross-linked hydrogel scaffold and embedded therein anti-bacterially active honey:
wherein the wound dressing composition has an anti-bacterial activity that is determined by a detection of hydrogen peroxide production rate by the wound dressing composition;
wherein the wound dressing composition further comprising at least one photo-initiator and at least one UV cross linker;
wherein a total amount of the at least one photo-initiator and the at least one UV cross linker is equal or less than 0.2% w/w out of a total weight of the wound dressing composition;
wherein an amount of the at least one UV cross linker does not exceed 0.15% w/w out of the total weight of the wound dressing composition; and
wherein the amount of the at least one photo-initiator and the at least one UV cross linker is effective to provide the wound dressing composition with no detectable amount of free monomer units.

11. A method of producing a wound dressing composition comprising cross-linked hydrogel scaffold and embedded therein anti-bacterially active honey, the method comprises:
mixing a hydrogel forming mixture comprising hydrogel forming monomer or monomers, anti-bacterially active honey, at least one photo-initiator and at least one UV cross linker to form a homogenous mixture; and
subjecting the homogenous mixture to UV irradiation until the homogenous mixture solidifies;
wherein a total amount of the at least one photo-initiator and the at least one UV cross linker is equal or less than 0.2% w/w out of a total weight of the wound dressing composition;
wherein an amount of the at least one UV cross linker does not exceed 0.15% w/w out of the total weight of the wound dressing composition; and
wherein the amount of the at least one photo-initiator and the at least one UV cross linker is effective to allow complete cross-linking of monomers of the cross-linked hydrogel.
