Above there is an example of how I programmed two adjacent hexagons. I programmed one and then I shifted the reference frame to have the second one below. With "coordinate" I save a point so that in the end I can draw the red rectangle. Based on this way of programming, How can I add the blue arrows? There should be a way to put the arrows parallel to the line joining the two nodes, and then maybe with decorate I can add the number of >> that I need.
Any suggestion?
Thank you, I apologize if this is not the best way to draw this tiling but it is the most versatile for what I need to do, so I would like not to change it, but I am interested in how to add parallel lines joining (or pointing) to two nodes.

It is not too difficult to draw such a thing in loops. pics may further help to avoid repetition. I did not understand your numbering scheme so you will have to modify evaluate=Y as Z using int(mod(33-Y-X,5)+1) to match your prescription.

Your code is far from optimal, so I'll not reproduce it here. I only show you how to add the blue arrow next to an edge, as you asked, by creating a style with arrows.
EDIT: I added also a closepath code to with arrows style in a way to be able to use it with regular polygon nodes (shown already in the @marmot's answer).
documentclass[tikz,border=7pt]standalone
usetikzlibrarydecorations.pathreplacing,calc,shapes.geometric
tikzstylewith arrows=[
postaction=red,decorate,
decoration=show path construction,
lineto code=
draw [blue,-latex] ($(tikzinputsegmentfirst)!1mm!45:(tikzinputsegmentlast)$) -- ($(tikzinputsegmentlast)!1mm!-45:(tikzinputsegmentfirst)$);
,
closepath code=
draw [blue,-latex] ($(tikzinputsegmentfirst)!1mm!45:(tikzinputsegmentlast)$) -- ($(tikzinputsegmentlast)!1mm!-45:(tikzinputsegmentfirst)$);
]
begindocument
begintikzpicture
draw[with arrows] (0,0) -- (1,1) node[scale=2]. -- (2,0);

@StevenB.Segletes Thanks a lot but I beg to disagree. I am not at all good at TikZ but most of the good users like Jake, percusse and cfr seem to be on vacation, or, as in Henri Menke's case not interested in such questions.

It is not too difficult to draw such a thing in loops. pics may further help to avoid repetition. I did not understand your numbering scheme so you will have to modify evaluate=Y as Z using int(mod(33-Y-X,5)+1) to match your prescription.

Your code is far from optimal, so I'll not reproduce it here. I only show you how to add the blue arrow next to an edge, as you asked, by creating a style with arrows.
EDIT: I added also a closepath code to with arrows style in a way to be able to use it with regular polygon nodes (shown already in the @marmot's answer).
documentclass[tikz,border=7pt]standalone
usetikzlibrarydecorations.pathreplacing,calc,shapes.geometric
tikzstylewith arrows=[
postaction=red,decorate,
decoration=show path construction,
lineto code=
draw [blue,-latex] ($(tikzinputsegmentfirst)!1mm!45:(tikzinputsegmentlast)$) -- ($(tikzinputsegmentlast)!1mm!-45:(tikzinputsegmentfirst)$);
,
closepath code=
draw [blue,-latex] ($(tikzinputsegmentfirst)!1mm!45:(tikzinputsegmentlast)$) -- ($(tikzinputsegmentlast)!1mm!-45:(tikzinputsegmentfirst)$);
]
begindocument
begintikzpicture
draw[with arrows] (0,0) -- (1,1) node[scale=2]. -- (2,0);
node[regular polygon,regular polygon sides=6,minimum width=2cm,draw,with arrows] at (3,1) 1;

This looks like the perfect use case for a loop here. But in order to do something like this I'd need to know what the numbers in the hexagon mean and how they are obtained

Sure, there are many posts that draw a hexagonal lattice, like e.g. tex.stackexchange.com/a/6025/121799. I recommend you do a google picture search for
site:tex.stackexchange.com hexagonal lattice tikzand look at promising posts. If there is something that you need to add, you have an arguably simpler starting point for your question.– marmot
