They have different meanings.
Except, means that the subject is excluded. "I work all week, except Fridays" (I work all week, but I do not work Fridays)
Besides does not exclude, but adds. for example "I work Monday through Friday, besides Sunday" (I work Monday through Friday, and I also work on Sunday")
I hope this helps.

In fact 'besides' also implies 'excepting' in formulating the answer, in that those referred to are excepted/excluded from the answer. 'In addition to' is yet another variation

There is another variant 'apart from'
