Beside
Beside is a preposition. It means ‘at the side of’ or ‘next to’. It is rather formal:
He would like to take a photograph of us. Would you come and sit beside me?
There was a small table beside the bed, on which there was a book.
Besides
Besides is a preposition or a linking adverb. It means ‘in addition to’ or ‘also’:
What other types of music do you like besides classical?
As a linking adverb, we usually put a comma before and after besides in writing:
I don’t think going for a walk is a good idea. It’s quite cold, and, besides, it’s getting late and we don’t want to be out in the dark.
