For both of the above sentences, you can use except or except for in place of besides. But please note that the substitution only works for negative statements as your examples show.
For positive statements, besides means in addition to as in the sentence below:
He has other hobbies besides reading and watching television.

兩部字典的示範句都用了否定句,besides 在否定句中才可解作 except,否則要解作 in addition to。
He does many household works besides ironing.
意思是「不單燙衣服他還做很多家務。」
Besides 就不能用 except 替代。
