'Besides' and 'apart from' are synonyms, but they are not close synonyms. com The closest synonym to 'besides' is 'in addition to', whereas the closest synonym to 'apart from' is 'except for'. So, if you are wondering how to use them, I suggest that you look up the best synonym using the above thesaurus when you are constructing a sentence.
