Hola Lina,
Both 'bueno' and 'pues' could mean "well" .They share that same meaning, but each has got other meanings.
Bueno :
means among other "well":
bueno , resulta que ......
well , it so happens that
bueno, y que ?
well ,so what ?
However 'Bueno' has different meanings in different contexts:
* alright! Ok!
bueno!
* good ,fine , fair :
es un buen libro
it's a good book
* excellent, great
que bueno!
* kind , good
fue muy bueno conmigo
he was very kind to me
* large
una buena cantidad de dinero
a large amount of money
Pues:
means "well " also:
pues no lo sabia!
well I didn't know
pues si
well yes
pues no voy
well I am not going
Other meanings of 'pues':
*then
tengo sueno . Pues vete a la cama!
I am tired. Then go to bed!
* since
compralo , pues lo necesitas !
buy it ,since you need it!
Bueno ,espero que has comprendido la diferencia:)

En España:
"Bueno", cuando no es un adjetivo, casi no significa nada. Sirve para que el hablante tenga tiempo de pensar qué va a decir luego. Casi equivale a "umm".
"¿Qué hacemos ahora?
Bueno, vamos a la playa = Umm, vamos a la playa"
Creo que en inglés dicen mucho "well", "I mean", "let me see".
En japonés se parece a ええと.
Cuando "pues" une dos oraciones, tiene una función consecutiva o causal
"Has venido, pues yo me marcho = Has venido y, por eso, me marcho " Este "pues" es popular, típico del español hablado y no del escrito. En inglés este "pues" se traduce como "so".
"Me marcho pues has venido = Me marcho porque has venido". Este pues es bastante culto y suena a castellano antiguo
Cuando "pues" no une oraciones, casi no significa nada, es parecido al "bueno" de antes.
"¿Qué quieres hacer?
Pues..., vamos a la playa"

hello....cherry mixes explanation of "bueno" confounding the adjective and the exclamation....bueno, can work as an exclamation functioning as an approval assertion. you could say: "bueno, pues vale" = "well, then ok." "pues" is undergoing disuse and it sounds very dialectal nowadays but still in use when functions as a connector between statements related in topic. her example "pues no lo sabia" works ok as this "pues" indicates that you are feeding back to the topic you are listening to. the example "tengo sueño. pues vete a la cama" isonly to be understood if it is a conversation between two persons and here "pues" has an implicit meaning of "don't bother me" go to bed and dont annoy me with your problems.

Both bueno and bues are expression, it means well ! The usage between these two words is depending on the speakers' preference. But, for the receipients or listeners, neither bueno nor pues have meaning. However, if something is involved in the conversation, Then, it means "yes" or possitive.
