You can use one of three fingers.

The first is the most recommended one when just playing a regular b flat. Put down your first two fingers on the first and second key then press the bottom side key with your palm. (In other words play an 'A' then as your playing that press the bottom side palm key)

The second fingering is an alternate fingering, used when going through notes chromatically. With your first finger onlypress the first key and the small key underneath it. Your not play 'A' so be careful not to press the second key.

The last fingering is not recommended (At least not by my instructor), but it can be played. Press the first key with your first finger (The 'B') Then press the fourth key with your other first finger. (The 'F' key) These are the only two keys you should have pressed down the other fingers should be up.

These are all fingers for B flat on a Saxophone.
